right place, right time! Just happened past this scene on the way to the beach to get the sunrise, This is Sumner, Christchurch, NZ.Time
It was just on sunrise in winter, freezing cold but well worth the early start.Lighting
I was aiming to capture the stillness and beauty of the morning, it was breathtaking.Equipment
Nikon D5200, hanging out the car window!Inspiration
Christchurch has seen it's share of hardship following the earthquakes 5 years ago. It's my home town and i like to capture images that remind us what a wonderful city it was and inspire hope for the future. I look at this photo and feel hopeful and peaceful and wonder what the day will bring.Editing
Just cropped it in a little.In my camera bag
I'm usually carrying my camera, so a spare lens, sunblock, chap stick, water and a hair tie. I try not to lug too much around with me.Feedback
Leave earlier than you think you need to so you can scope out the best spot / angle / lighting. Look for fine weather in the winter, the mornings will often be clear and still - just make sure to wear lots of layers.
