Photography Tips
Go out for a sunrise even if it's in the middle of the night. If you are lucky you get a nice reflection with golden light next to icebergs and a sailing boat.
Therefore use a wide angle landscape lens and see how stable your handheld photography is. If you create an unsharp images, increase the ISO a bit.
Also on the boat you can watch out for nice foreground or framings like the bull-eye window.
