It was early morning in the middle of July. The family was still sleeping in our cottage so I sneaked out with my camera for a morning photowalk. (One of my habits apparently.) I found this view in a currently unused sheep pasture. I liked how the sunbeams lit up the morning mist. (The ground was still very wet from the night dew, so after another hour or so I had to head back home to dry my shoes in the sun.)
A few hours after sunrise, but still before the bathers would arrive, I was alone on the beach. The lake looked so peaceful then, before the arriving chaos. Well, the 40 second exposure helped to smooth out the water a bit...
After having been enjoying the blue and golden hour and watching the sun rise above the horizon, I turned around to capture this scene. The pines were lit by the early morning sun and got a bit extra colorful thanks to the 590nm filter on my full-spectrum converted Sony a6000.
