Sunrises on a sunny day are one of the best times to do your scenic photography, where you will be shooting the rich, warm, early morning sunlight as it flows over the landscape. The colors of nature are intensified and equally spectacular shadows are there for the taking.

In terms of composition, one of my favorites is to go for spectacular views from the vantage point where you shoot toward the sun and backlight the subject. It is one of the two periods within a day when the light is most ideal for capturing breathtaking images.

Another advantage you might have by being in the park at sunrise is that there are still not many people around. Space is all yours, albeit the other early bird who has already set up a deck chair and a battery of fishing rods are already cast as he sits with a pair of headphones over his ears as the sun rises.

What will your camera be? For me, it could be as simple as the candy-bar Nokia Asha 300 feature phone, a product of 2011.
