The best kept secret in Ibiza: the sunrise

The Balearic island of Ibiza is of course known for partying in the night clubs and during the parties or the chill out and lounge places where one can enjoy the world famous sunsets every day. But did you know that the sunrises are just as spectacular and practically never photographed in Ibiza?

Instead of paying attention to the sunset (puesta del sol) it is definitely worth it in Ibiza to pay attention to the sunrise (amanecer) which is actually just as spectacular on the Balearic island (and other places in Spain) of course). However, sunrise is less photographed and less shared on social media.

Properly photographing a sunrise is not easy and you need to prepare if you want to capture the perfect sunrise. These are some tips from the experts (which of course apply everywhere besides Ibiza).

Check when and at what time the sun rises and be on time

Explore the location where you want to photograph the sunrise

Be happy if there are clouds during the sunrise because a picture without clouds is boring

Photograph the sunrise with a slow shutter speed and a tripod for a nice, soft and dynamic effect

Provide an interesting foreground because otherwise a sunrise on the photo will become boring

Be careful when zooming in when shooting a sunrise

Don't just take photos of the sun, but take photos of other directions

Good luck!
