Location
I took this photo at our cottage at Bark Lake in the Quebec Laurentian region. Bark Lake is known as the Jewel of the Laurentians. It's a gorgeous lake surrounded by beautiful mountains. This unspoiled lake is a throwback to the '70's. It's a 6mi. ride down the lake to get to the off-grid cottage.Time
Just before early morning golden hour. I am an early riser, especially when I'm at the cottage. This is the best opportunity to capture flora, fauna and the ever changing day as it wakes up. I was standing at the end of my dock where this photo was taken at 5:00 am. The morning mist was flowing over the water and hiding in the surrounding mountains. I'm glad I was able to capture this beautiful moment in time.Lighting
During any golden hour you have to either take a lot of photos, change lighting during post processing or just be like Henri Cartier-Bresson, pick the decisive moment.Equipment
I used a Canon 7D, a 28-70 mm lens. That's pretty much it.Inspiration
It's not a choice, the morning draws you out with its beauty, silence and fresh air. You are alone with nature.Editing
