This was taken on top of Hull Mountain in the Mendocino Forest in Lake County, CATime
Sunrise on September 12 around 7:15AM. This was the day the Valley Fire started on September 12, 2015. Chuck's parents lost everything that day, as well as 1200 other homes. The story is long.. and I might edit this to tell it as I feel it needs to be shared here at some point.Lighting
Sunrise and morning air made for crisp, clear, beautiful lighting and colors!Equipment
Canon EOS 5D Mark II Canon 50mm prime lens Aperture: f/2.2 ISO: 100 Exposure: 1/400 Focal Length: 35/1Inspiration

Make sure your metering is set to spot so that you don't blow the sky out. I always shoot manual so I have complete control over every aspect of the photo. Take a couple test shots, and if you need to take several shots with different exposure levels and merge them, do it!
