I have so much gear to test, that I’m having a tough time to get out and shoot. Last week I woke up early for some birding at a nearby park and saw this sunrise on the way:
The sky redness you see in the above image stood for several minutes before the sun started coming out of the horizon. After taking a couple of shots, I enjoyed the moment of tranquility and as I was getting ready to leave, found this wood piece close-by:
Too bad there were not any boats around, since it is a small lake…
Captured with Nikon D300 and Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G VR lens.

Beautiful, just beautiful!
Any filter use here?
Robert
Robert, no, I didn’t use any filters. When taking pictures of reflections like this, the amount of light hitting the sky is almost the same as in the water, so no filters are necessary :)
Did you use a tripod?
Did you use a polarization filter?
Which focal length did you use? 18mm?
Amit, I shot both images hand-held with VR on. No polarization or other filters were used – just the bare lens itself.
Focal length is 38mm, 1/25th @ f/8, ISO 200.
Sunlight is always magical, always full of surprise how the next light will be.
Nice photos!

Thank you Dennis!
