View From Shovel Point(Canon 5d, 24-105mm lens)
The time to Shovel Point took a little less than estimated so even though I left a little late there was plenty of time. Traveling at 3:30 in the morning there is not much traffic to slow you down. Perfectly clear skies again, but it works in this shot. The warm sunrise light makes this image seem almost surreal.
I do research before I go on a trip, it helps to see what others have done and makes it easier to find great locations. I sometimes try to re-create some of the better shots I see during my research. It is amazing how much you can learn about composition and technique when you see what others have done to make a location photograph very dramatically.
The inspiration for this photograph came from a book by Greg Ryan and Sally Beyer called "Minnesota - Simply Beautiful".
