Location
This was taken on a family trip to France where we rented a boat for a week or so to sail through the canals. One of the mornings near Rieux I woke up really early and the sight of the sun slowly painting the sky was mesmerizing. Along with the parked boats on the river it really made for a dreamy view.Time
Early in the morning, just before the sun appeared above the horizon.Lighting
Just before the sun appears on the horizon it paints the sky in golden colors, as can be seen here :)Equipment
This was actually taken with my phone.Inspiration
Pure luck, actually - I was blessed to be up at this time :)Editing
Some cropping and color correction, but that's about it.In my camera bag
When going to photograph (which wasn't the case here) I have a Sony a1, a Sony 200-600mm lens, and a Sigma 105mm macro lens.Feedback
The sights of sunrise (or close before that) on watery surfaces is amazing. You have to be at the right place at the right time...
