Waking up at 4am to take the hour and a half drive to Montauk seems crazy to some, but for me it is a great way to capture some of the most beautiful landscape photos. Where else can you catch a beacon of light from the historic Montauk lighthouse guiding the mariners across the ocean and sound? Combine that with listening to the waves crash in a rhythmic pattern across the rocky shore, the birds waking up for their morning meal, and the sun is peaking out through the clouds, and it is the perfect start to any day. It's one of my favorite ways I am reminded that a new day is amongst us.
