Location
This photo was taken at Abraham Lake, in Alberta, Canada.Time
This was around 5 or 6 in the evening.Lighting
This lake is famous for its frozen methane bubbles in the ice. I was not planning on shooting anything until I saw the colours in the clouds start to light up. I parked my car, grabbed my gear and ran down to the shore to get some shots before it was too late.Equipment
Canon 5D MKiii with a 24-70mm 2.8L, I used a ProMaster Carbon Fiber tripodInspiration
Couldn't have asked for a more spectacular sunset. I wasn't able to find any of the methane bubbles, so I decided to use the cracks in the ice to compose the foreground, and I couldn't be happier.Editing

If you see the sky changing, don't go looking for a better spot. Use whats in front of you, or you might end up missing the whole thing,
