Location
In January, summer, high on the knife edge ridge of Mitre Peak in Milford sound, New Zealand.Time
Mid afternoon.Lighting
The sun was at my back, ideal for both well lit foregrounds and backgrounds.Equipment
A Nikon P7800. For this shot the zoom setting was 28mm, ISO 100, F8 and shutter 1/250 sec.Inspiration
I was really just taking a break when the airiness of my seat became apparent.Editing
Adjustments in Camera RAW to bring out detail in light and shadow, then some further minor polishing in PhotoShop.In my camera bag
I love the mountains, so as little as possible - at present a Nikon D750 camera body, a Nikkor 24-120 small zoom and the 55-300 bigger zoom, a spare battery and beaten up lightweight tripod - good for hiking. If I'm going for a summit then it's even less - a compact Nikon P7800 with mirrorless through the lens digital view finder, full manual operation and RAW file capture - absolutely great when you still want to control your photography but need to keep moving and can't afford to have stuff hanging off you.Feedback
Keep thinking, keep looking. Great shots aren’t always planned, especially if you put yourself in spectacular settings.
