Location
I took the photo in Switzerland on Lake Murten.Time
Sunrise on the longest day of the year. Unfortunately I had to get out of bed early, but it was worth it at any rate.Lighting
When the sun rose, I stood next to the tree. Then I easily moved to the side and the suns shining through the tree. It was clear to me that I had to capture the light.Equipment
This was shot on a Canon 5D Mark III, with an Sigma 12-24 F4 DG HSM / ART Lens, a tripod and Haida Filter 150x170 GND 1.2 & PolfilterInspiration
I stayed with my family a few days ago at this beautiful place. We went by bike. When I saw the tree I had the image already in my head and Plante with different apps like PhotoPills etc. When I noticed that the longest day of the year was coming, the time was set.Editing
The image was tooken with three exposures. First I edited the individually and added with luminance masks. On this basis I finished the picture.In my camera bag
