Location
I took this picture in Lenox, Massachusetts, during a yoga/kayaking retreat.Time
The atmosphere was amazing. We set off on the lake just before sunrise in the mist that was whirling above the water.Lighting
I wanted to show both the amazing colors and the mist above the water which was creating a truly different atmosphere.Equipment
This was shot on a SONY DSC-RX100; a very good compact camera.Inspiration
I really enjoy going outside for the sunrise, and being on a lake in the middle of a forest at this time is definitely worse getting up early for!Editing
I did a small adjustment to have a darker version, so that this wouldn't be a portrait of my friend but a picture into which anybody could jump into; as well as to improve the halo effect around the sun.In my camera bag
I usually just have my Canon DSLR around my neck!Feedback
Sunrise is a very magic moment; it's really worth getting up early to enjoy it! And the colors are always amazing, no need to be a post-production artist!
