Location
An icy morning with a soft mist in the woods at Hothfield Common an area of woodland and heathland in south-east England. One old oak seemingly possessed by the serpentine spirits.Time
This was taken just after dawn, when the sun was high enough for its light to burst through the treesLighting
Soft mist and sunlight are always a great combination, add in some ancient trees for some extra magicEquipment
My old Canon EOS500D, a Canon Rebel in other placesInspiration
It was just a question of getting up early, driving to the woods and seeing how the sunrise unfolded, it's great to have the woods to yourself and hear the frosty leaves crunching underfoot.Editing
No, it's just the way it was shotIn my camera bag
Canon EOS 70D an 18-200mm lens and a shoulder harness, I found using the Canon camera strap over long periods was damaging my neckFeedback
Check the weather forecast, choose a good day and then set the alarm a couple of hours before sunrise and get out there
