This morning’s sunrise was stunning. In addition to the beautiful sunrise, a couple of techniques were used to make this image so appealing. First is the symmetrical reflection in the windows. This makes the photograph richer, or abstract and more artistic.
The second is the leading lines of the balconies, the railings and the top window frames that all point to the sunrise. These leading lines help draw the viewers eyes into the photograph to give the image depth.
This photo was taken at ISO 64, f11, an exposure time of half a second, and at a focal length of 24mm.
