Captures the essence of the place. Beautiful capture of a beautiful place. I must admit I didn't see this angle when I was there, teach me to look more in future.

Location
Bèziers, France.Time
Just after the sunrise.Lighting
i didn't use any light, just natural one.Equipment
I shot this picture with my Canon 5D Mark Ii back in 2013 with a 24-105 mm lens. I had only my little gorillapod with me which worked just well enough.Inspiration
I was going from Italy to Portugal in 2013 with a friend in a roadtrip I still remember very well. I planned to stop here and there to shoot pictures and Béziers was in my list since the beginning, but when I arrived here I had hard time to find the right place where to shoot because I couldn't find a way to get down to the river side. Fortunately I found it right in time before the sun was too high in the sky!Editing
For this shot, I followed my own post-processing work-flow. First, I applied my own custom preset in Lightroom, which mainly consists in enlighting the shadows, add saturation, vibrance, clarity and sharpening. Then I finished the processing in Photoshow applying a denoiser, custom curves and a LUT to emulate a analog film at 50% of opacity.In my camera bag
I usually take my Sony A7s with a 24-70 mm Zeiss lens and a 70-200 mm Canon lens with a metabones adapter. A tripod, an eMotimo TB3 for timelaspes and a couple of ND filters.Feedback
Planning and timing is essential, in particular when you are travelling. You should plan your stops in advance, paying attention to the polar coordinates to predict the position of the sun on a specific spot. Search for other photographer's pictures of that place, try to determine the best framing and add something personal.
