The story behind the image
I love to take my camera during the early morning hours and explore the surroundings around sunrise time when only very few people are around. This is pure relaxation for me and enables me to almost merge with the scene and find stunning images.
And so I went to the central beach in Grömitz to enjoy the sunrise. Basti’s Beach Chair Rental has added several palm trees that mark the entrance to the section of the beach maintained by his team. I carefully placed the sun between the leafs of a palm tree and selected an aperture of f/22. Voilá, there was the star shaped sun lurking through the leafs!
Lovely.
