I remember this morning to be super cold! My fingers and toes numb even with my winter gear on. But an amazing sunrise. The train was unexpected and I rushed to get into position to catch this.

Location
I took this photo outside of my hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. The countryside is literally just out of the city limits.Time
I woke up early on a very cold -40 Celsius morning to catch the sunrise. It was winter and the sun was coming up around 8:00 amLighting
The lighting was just from the morning sky, just before the sun crested the horizonEquipment
I used my trusty heavy duty aluminum tripod with my Nikon D750 body. A 10-24mm lens was used which means it was cropped for the full frame body but it's my go-to for wide angle shots.Inspiration
I knew this field of Cattails was there and it was just great timing to have the train passing at the same time. I re-framed my composition and waited for the train to just come into frame.Editing
I used a simple lightroom edit where I increased the saturation and brought in some vignette through gradient filtersIn my camera bag
My D750 is my trusty friend and as always my wide angle lens, I've also got a 15mm fisheye, 50mm, 70-300mm, remote shutter, extra batteries to help if one freezes. My D7100 body as backup.Feedback
Try not to only find a great landscape to shoot but try to tell a story with your image. If you can plan for the total vision, great, but be open to the spontaneous to happen and re-compose your shot to get the angles and vision you want to share. I'm crazy about color, so that's always a factor into what my images will be as well. Try to bring the human aspect into an otherwise "normal" landscape, bring the viewer into your vision.
