Camera: Canon EOS-30D
Lens: Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Location: Bilbao, Spain
Date: Apr 26, 2008
Aperture: 7.1
ISO: 100
Shutter: 8 sec

Date Uploaded: Apr 30, 2008

Taken on a company vacation to Bilbao. Woke up at 5:30 to get the sunrise at 6:45. I had studied the location the day before and knew where to be during sunrise.

Incredible luck that I got this reflection. Hours the day before and this morning the wind had been blowing and combined with the river current the surface was always covered in ripples. Then suddenly as the sun rose the wind stop and the current stopped making ripples.

This building is the famous Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao Spain. Designed by Frank Cehry its one of the most beautiful buildings I have seen.

Beautiful colours! The bridge and background buildings are fighting for attention here. It would be nice to crop the sides of the image and focus on the building.

Awesome and extremely unusual. Your lighting and detail are fabulous. Feels like a dream or surreallistic.
