With light levels fairly low in the mornings,
before the sun comes up and using a
narrow-ish aperture, you’ll end up with a
fairly slow shutter speed. So it’s best to
use a tripod to ensure you capture
shake-free, sharp sunrise shots.

With your Canon on a tripod, you have

both hands free to compose and expose

using Live View. We’ll compose our shot,

then use the focus box, zooming in x10

view, and manually focus our lens until the

most important area in the scene is sharp.

We then made some enhancements of our

Raw in Photoshop’s Adobe Camera Raw

workspace. We increased Shadows and

Whites, and dropped Contrast, Highlights

and Blacks down, and used a digital

graduated filter to create a dramatic sky.

For landscape

shots, avoid

shooting with the

narrowest aperture

of, say, f/22 as

diffraction will affect

image quality.
