Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at a friends lake house two hours north of Montréal in Québec.

Time

About 10:30am.

Lighting

Just the sun, no clouds.

Equipment

I use a Nikon D3 with the Nikon 14-24 2.8 .

Inspiration

I wanted a nice relaxing photo that showed the beauty of this place. With the sun and no clouds in the sky, I think it made the perfect vibe I wanted to achieve.

Editing

With the sun direct in the lens, you need to tweek a bit the raw file to get all the detail. I did tweak the highlights and shadows, brought up the contrast and some sharpening. All in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

I usually carry my Nikon D3, 14-24, 24-70, 70-200, all 2.8 from Nikon. Also have my tripod and external trigger for night shots. I have the 35 and 50 1.8 Nikon also in the bag. Doesn't take much space and can be lifesavers in low light. Also carry my IShootRaw black rapid strap.

Feedback

If I had to redo, maybe trying to get a moment when the water would be completely still. But as the sun goes up, wind takes up and water move. I did not use graduated filter and that could be something usefull if post-processing is not a strong point.
