Hidden Sunrise

A few photos from a sunrise photo walk at Waukegan Harbor & Marina and the Waukegan Municipal Beach in Waukegan, IL on 6/2/24.  Weather predicted was intermittent clouds at 5:17am sunrise; what we experienced was complete cloud cover until after 8am.  Nonetheless, it was a successful morning of photography.

Clondon52w24: Negative Space

From the C.London website: "There are absolutely times when what seems like unnecessary empty space is ideal for the photograph you’re attempting.  Negative space can elicit a feeling of solitude, vastness, calm, etc.  When trying out negative space think about where you are placing the subject very carefully.  Do you want to highlight the surroundings?  Maybe placing the subject off-center within the rule of thirds is the way to go.  Are you more interested in showcasing the emptiness around a subject?  Try a more center-weighted composition.  When done properly, negative space is an incredibly useful tool for showing atmosphere."

Out shooting photos with @photofinish_sid, I was able to try out my new telephoto zoom.
