How I Got This Shot: As I started to make my way up, I pulled off to the side of the road to one of my favorite sunrise locations… I was a little disappointed because the fog was burring off quickly and I missed the actual sun rising as this was a last minute idea. Mounted my tripod and camera and decided it was bright enough to handhold and I like the freedom of that because 90 % of the time I am on a tripod shooting interiors for architects. I knew if I just moved slightly and waited for the little sparkle I see from the sun I would get the sunburst effect I love so much. Make sure you are on f16- f/32 to help produce it! Try it next time you have a full on sun, But don’t leave it exposed for long as the sun can burn and damage your sensor. Don’t use mirror lockup for these shots!
