Hello, a community of photography lovers! How is everyone today? When the last moments of the old year are about to pass, it is time to prepare to welcome the new year 2022. With brighter and better times. My last post in the photography community for 2021, will be about a trip to the beach on an early winter morning. I am a person who does not like winter at all because winter weather causes my sinusitis to return. As the humid air and cold winds make my room very uncomfortable these days. I don't like winter, but I have a love for the beach early in the morning. Surely many people will think, in the winter, the weather apart from the beaches, won't be as nice as summer days. That's right, in the winter on the beaches of my city, there will be a few days when the sun can be reached, cloudy clouds block the sun. But fortunately today I can catch the sun at My Khe beach and that is what I want to write today.I have shared a few posts about My Khe beach, as everyone knows, My Khe beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Da Nang, located not too far from the city center. The reason that I like the sunrise of My Khe beach in winter is that this is the time when the sun will gradually rise over the right side of the beach. If in the summer, we will admire the sunrise, from behind the Son Tra mountain range. For me, the sun rising from the water will be more beautiful than from behind the mountains. The sun rose above the horizon from the sea, allowing me to see the beauty of the beach. The winter rays are not too harsh so that we can easily see the sun, with a bright red circle. The water would be so much nicer, from the far shore.
In my today's post, there are totals of 8 photos. I didn't get out in time for the sun to rise, to be able to fully appreciate the beauty of today. My favorite lens when shooting at the beach is the telephoto with a focal length of 70-300 and A camera with a 1.5 crop factor,the Nikon D500, would offer me a closer effect to the sun. The lens company that I choose is Nikon AF-S 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6. The first photo I took at a focal length of 300 mm, in this photo the sun was only halfway up, the whole sky had a bright red color. In the distance are fishing boats of Cu Lao Cham island.
The second photo is also a landscape photographer like me on the beach, his focal length is a wide-angle. After going to the beach we got to know each other and he said he liked my lens.
The third photo is of a female friend taking with her phone, she is a tourist from Kon-Tum, this is her second visit to Da Nang. She asked me to take a picture with her phone and I already knew her name that day.
The 4th and 5th photo is when the sun has come out of the sea, the focal length that I took that day is 135mm, the foreground is coconut trees, this is an indispensable thing on any beach. What a beautiful sea. There are coconut trees in the photo, making the beach scene more special.
When the sun rose very high, I could see around here, people were starting to go to the beach more. They exercised every early morning. Some people have joint pain and they often bury their feet in the sand pits they dug. I don't know if it's going to work, but it's the way people here do it when the pain in the joints of the feet, always torment in the winter. This is my 6th photo in today's post
The 7th photo is my favorite photo of the day. There was a dove that flew up from the sand. I regretted that this moment would have been better when I shot at a closer focal length. I move closer to the bird and I shot close to the sun. The dove is a symbol of peace, I was also surprised when the birds appeared very early on the beach.
Today's last photo was taken by me with a Nikon 14-24 lens. This lens is made by the same person I took in the second photo, he wanted to try my lens and we exchanged lenses, to take a test shot. At this focal length, I wanted to capture all the beauty of the beach. I shot at 20mm with an aperture of F2.8, the main subject is the flowers of the seawater spinach plant. Sea spinach is grown all over Da Nang beach. They make the sand, on the beach more beautiful, with purple flowers, and the sun makes the flowers wake up and bloom very beautifully. In the foreground are coconut trees and Son Tra mountain range and My Khe beach. The sun has also begun to rise at this time, signaling the beginning of a new day.
After leaving the beach, I have made new friends, photography is what brings us together and it helps people tell their own stories.
Thank you everyone for viewing my post. Have a nice day everyone.
