I shared this photo on instagram with some thoughts I struggled with when capturing -
Imperfect Sunrise
Our first sunrise on Lake Como in northern Italy was quite the scene - no heavy edit here - the sky and the color reflected in the water was just pink fire! I wanted a shutter speed that would give me some smoothness in the water but in the moment I stressed about the motion in the covered boat- I didn't think I wanted it blurred...I took a series of shots at various shutter speeds and figured I would do some photoshop compositing - using a short shutter speed shot for the boat and a longer shutter speed shot for the water - but today as I worked on these images a bit of blur in the boat felt real and acceptable and so here it is - one shot.
Captured with the Sony a1 in crop mode because I was testing the Tamron 18-300. Shutter speed is 0.8 seconds.
