This photo was taken at the North Esk River near Kinnaber, Montrose, Scotland, UK.Time
Taken around sunrise (about 4.30am) on 2nd MayLighting
patience was the key to lighting for this photoEquipment
1 Large Rock, Canon 70D, Canon 24-105 F4l IS USM, Monfrotto Tripod and a shutter timer.Inspiration
Was throwing peebles in waiting on sunrise and struck upon the idea of catching the sunrise through the splash from a larger rock.Editing
This photo is 5 photos taken in high speed continuous mode layered together to provide one image. the sky and land are from 1 frame and the water and "fairy" are the 5 layered photos.In my camera bag
Canon 70d, canon T5i, Canon 100-400mm L F4-5.6, Canon 24-105mm L F4, Speedlite 430exii, Samyang 10mm@F2.8 (@ Night) or Sigma 150mm Macro (@ daytime)Feedback
large flat rocks work best if thrown to land flat on the surface on water. use high speed continuous mode and shutter timer or friend to throw the rocks.
