Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in Dali, Yunnan, China at the lake called Er Hai.

Time

At Sunrise.The sunrise time here is unbelievable unique, 8 a.m. local time. At checking in, the lakeside hotel staff told me what was the right time to get up to watch sunrise , I didn't believe him. I set the alarm clock to 5 a.m. Lo and behold I had to wait for 3 hours before I saw the sun!!!

Lighting

Natural light.

Equipment

Canon Powershot SX 50 HS

Inspiration

I always love to watch sunrise and sunset. Iam sort of addicted to witness the ever changing colourful clouds and sky at blue hours

Editing

No editing at all.

In my camera bag

Canon Powershot SX50 HS was the only camera together with spare batteries and cleansing cloth were the normal contents in my bag back then in 2014 .

Feedback

This site is an exceptional time for me to watch sunrise at 8 a.m. Normally one have to wait and watch at around 5 a.m. Keep warm and comfy. It's usually pitch dark in the surrounding and stay safe. Be patient and unexpected change of scene in the sky are happening within short period of time. Don't miss the beautiful images.
