Behind The Lens

Location

This is a small pond in Upper Swabia, southern Germany, between the towns of Aulendorf and Bad Schussenried, which I pass every day on my way to work

Time

In this region there is often fog in the morning, sometimes very dense, sometimes just a thin layer that glows golden in the first rays of the sun

Lighting

Fog only shines in the backlight, so I looked for a place on the shore where I had the sun in the frame

Equipment

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, EF16-35mm f/4L IS USM, f/8.0, 20mm, ISO 100, 1/250sec

Inspiration

Every morning I drive past this pond and it often has wonderful moods there, so that I had long planned to take photos here. Unfortunately, on the way to work, you're often in a hurry and don't have the time. On my summer vacation in 2020, which you could only spend at home anyway due to the pandemic, I finally took the time and drove to this place several mornings until the mood was finally right

Editing

This is an HDR recording - so I took a series of exposures and combined it with the Aurora program from Skylum. The program has a lot of presets, you just have to choose the right one

In my camera bag

First and foremost, I photograph landscapes. I have two lenses in my backpack for this genre: the Canon EF 16-35mm f / 4L IS USM and the Canon EF 24-105mm f / 4L IS USM. Various ND and GND filters as well as a tripod are of course always included. If the way to the photo spot is not too long or too difficult, I also like to take the Tamron 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 SP Di VC USM with me for detailed shots. Occasionally I do astrophotography with the Tamron SP 15-30mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD, but this thing is so heavy that it is only taken for that special occasion. My second big passion is wildlife photography. Here I have the Tamron SP 150-600mm F / 5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (also very heavy and therefore not always in the rucksack) for the larger and more abrasive specimens and the Tamron SP 90mm 1: 2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD for the tiny ones I use all those lenses with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV My newest toy is a drone: the dji Mavic 2 pro for unusual perspectives, abstractions and a view over the fog

Feedback

It is not always the great landscapes that you know from the pictures of countless other photographers that you definitely want to take photos yourself. Often you will find wonderful motifs in the neighborhood, right in front of the front door, which others walk past. You just have to open your eyes and see the beauty in the seemingly inconspicuous
