I took this picture on top of a pagoda. This was in Bagan, Myanmar.Time
I was waiting for the sunrise from 06:15 in the morning until the static balloons passed. It was exciting because the owner of the carriage that drove me there left me alone in the pagoda. It was very dark,cold and I had to go barefoot.Lighting
I really wanted to take a picture at this time of the morning when the balloons pass, because with the sunrise it gives a special feeling of romanticism to the image.Equipment
This was shot with a Canon PowerShot SX50 HS Obviously without flash and without tripod because it is difficult to carry! :)Inspiration
There were many pagodas where we could go up to wait for the sunrise. But all full of people. This one was lonely and the view was spectacular. I had to wait about 20 minutes that were eternal. But it was really worth the effort.Editing
Well, I take the photos in raw format, so I have to reveal them. I use a program for this. If it is necessary I fix a little the contrast, the light and nothing else.In my camera bag
I carry the camera obviously, many cards and batteries.Feedback
As an amateur I have a simple camera, but for these places you need a good reflex camera and most importantly a good tripod. These trips are not made twice!
