Deerfield Pier, by Steve Hirsch

I planned this photo shoot 1 hour prior to sunrise beneath the Deerfield Beach pier. Not a person was in sight this time of the morning but shortly before sunrise the fisherman began to arrive at the pier. I could tell the sun was going tho brake through the cloud bank and wanted to capture it. I also wanted to try and get the reflection of the pier if possible. Using a variable ND filter and tripod I was fortunate to capture this exposure. I went back the morning for more it was so much fun.
