I took this back in 2018 while walking around the small coastal town of Oriental, North Carolina. I had just been getting into photography when I took this. I saw some similar shots from a local photographer and wanted to try to create some of my own. Oriental is the sailing capital of North Carolina so there were a bunch of yachts and sailing vessels moored at the local piers to practice on.
I shot this with my Nikon d3200 and a Tokina 11-16mm made for a crop sensor camera. I upgraded in 2020 to a full frame mirror-less, Sony a7iii.
