The first person to arrive that morning at this Canadian Rocky Mountain pond, I used a pocket flashlight to illuminate the way around to the western side in order to look back and capture the emerging autumn sunrise. When I saw all the uncluttered space in this scene, I knew it would be a good opportunity to put someone – ME – into the composition. Was it a good idea? Nikon D7100, tripod, 10-20 mm. wide-angle zoom lens, enhancing filter, graduated density (darkening) filter on the sky.
