Sailing Into the Morning Sun
Sailing Into the Morning Sun
While it is beneficial to photograph during either side of sunrise times, some of the best images can be made for a time not long after the sun has completely risen. The three river boatmen in the Zhejiang province of China had set off about an hour after sunrise. Heading out, they sailed/poled out towards a fog bank that was glowing brightly caused by the sun’s backlighting. I had to position myself carefully to eliminate distracting elements to achieve a minimalist feel for the composition. You will note that not even the riverbank can be seen.
