I was in Saint Petersburg FL for a photography 'meet-up' club meeting at Fort DeSoto for a sunrise shoot of local birds at this park that encompasses over 1000 beautiful acres. I was walking towards the group that was gathering just before sunrise at one end of the parking lot, when I turned around and saw this spectacular light at the beach. I dropped my tripod and raced (literally) towards the trees on the beach knowing this was a fleeing moment. The light lasted for maybe two minutes and I wanted to isolate this tree with the water and colors in the background and was lucky enough to capture the light. Shot with a Sony A7MarkII with a Sony 70-300mm lens set to 74mm, 1/125, f6.7, ISO 400, handheld.
