Sunlight meets mist - a photo on Flickriver

I'd forgotten all about taking this image, an absolutely epic crazy early morning sunrise on Loch Rosky, in the Trossachs.

I'd had a few hours sleep in the car after shooting sunset near to here, this morning had started off well with a massive amount of mist rolling in off the hills across the Loch allowing me to get some very surreal pink hued images well before sunrise, and a completely different scene into the sunrise.

This was the last image I took from this morning with the sun just popping up over the hills and trees at the head of the Loch, it was extremely bright but I thought I'd have a go at shooting right into it as the scene was just amazing with the sunlight hitting the water and burning off the mist on the surface, the mist was still diffusing the sunlight so it was worth a go, I'd had a go at trying to get a sunburst through the trees at a very small aperture that I hardly ever use (f/22) but the mist thwarted that which does make sense when you think about it, instead I ended up capturing the lovely warm light rays hitting the water, you often hear the term 'the sun will burn off the mist' but it's not often you get to see it and actually capture it, the challenge was to harness the light without sillhouetting all the details.

One of the most epic and productive mornings I've had in a long time.
