Location
This photo was taken from Evandale Park on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia facing towards Surfers Paradise.Time
This was taken very early just after first light at about 5am, i remember being unsure of where to shoot the sunrise from, so i just followed some nice cloud cover to Evendale Park and got set up while the colours turned up.Lighting
I did use a ND variable filter just so i could do a longer exposure without the light getting blown out.Equipment
I used a Canon 6D with a Canon L 17-40mm lens on a Velbon tripod with a variable ND filter and a camera remote for a longer exposure.Inspiration
I have a list of local spots i am wanting to shoot and capture amazing sunrises from as i love shooting sunrise. On this day i just went were i thought conditions were best and was not disappointed.Editing
In camera raw i just turned the highlights down a little and shadows up a little then sharpened, i don't really like spending too much time messing with my photos unless really needed.In my camera bag
I usually carry a Canon 5dmkii with a 50mm prime, and a Canon 6d with a 17-40mm lens and i will try to have my canon powershot g15 on me as much as possible if i see something during my day that i would like to quickly shoot.Feedback
I think it is good to get to a sunrise location 15 to 20 mins before first light. This gives you plenty of time to find composition and the opportunity not to miss anything that can quickly change during a sunrise.
