Wait for the sunrise ;-)Equipment
Camera was set on a tripod with remote releaseInspiration
We knew the sun would come up on the other side of the mere, my friend was at the waters edge, I stepped back liked the composition of the trees, been early morning, there was a layer of mist on the water, which added to the imageEditing

Do your research on the area to which you want to shoot, get there early so you have plenty of time to set-up and head torch is a good investment, walk round the area, have a look for different angles or something that will make your image stand out from the rest.
