Location
I took this picture in Lenox, Massachusetts, during a yoga/kayaking retreat.Time
The atmosphere was amazing. We set off on the lake just before sunrise in the mist that was whirling above the water.Lighting
I love this picture because it really shows what we were feeling at this moment; lost in the contemplation of the sunrise. Perfect moment.Equipment
This was shot on a SONY DSC-RX100; a very good compact camera.Inspiration
This moment was perfect, so I wanted to share some of the beauty of the place and time. Having my friend in the center of the picture is perfect in that sense; he is the only subject here but because we can't see his face, we see what he sees and tend to get involved - going aboard the kayak ourselves.Editing
I did a small adjustment to have a darker version, so that this wouldn't be a portrait of my friend but a picture into which anybody could jump into.In my camera bag
I usually just have my Canon DSLR around my neck!Feedback
Sunrise is a very magic moment; it's really worth getting up early to enjoy it!
