Location
Bow Lake on the Icefields Parkway in Banff National ParkTime
This was taken on a night time shootLighting
The night was pretty cloudy with the cloud covering a beautiful full moon. Luckily the moon was strong enough to shine through parts of the cloud coverEquipment
Canon T4i Sigma 10-22 Vanguard tripodInspiration
The water was choppy and i wanted to highlight crowfoot mountain with smooth water around to reflect the peacefulness of the evening. with a long exposure the water became silky smoothEditing
I used LR5 to process the photo. I applied some noise reduction and some basic highlights, shadows adjustments to the photo. very little was done.In my camera bag
Since taking this photo I have upgraded to a canon 6D. In my bag is the following Canon 6D Canon 17-40mm f4 Canon 24-104mm f4 Canon 70-200mm f4 Rokinon 14mm 2.8 Lee Filters Big StopperFeedback
Get out there and experiment with your equipment. don't be afraid to try different settings. Really find out how far you can push your ISO with night work before the photo becomes unusable due to noise. I really like using the Rokinon at night now as it allows me to work with some quicker shutter speeds along with the 6D to really capture the stars sharp. Have fun. night time is one of the best and most rewarding times to get out and photograph
