Behind The Lens
Location
The upper Maitai River in Nelson New ZealandTime
Around middayLighting
With very tall trees not a lot of light reaching the pool, the beautiful red and green rocks from the Nelson mineral belt gleam in the daylight.Equipment
Nikon d800, Gitzo tripod, 4 stop Tianya ND filter 7 second exposure.Inspiration
Being in a quiet remote place when shafts of light illuminate all of this beauty it is almost heavenly.Editing
Yes, edited in Lightroom 5In my camera bag
Nikon d800 wide angle lens, nd filters, remote release cable.Feedback
Yes, just go on a journey where you imagine there may be a beautiful photograph, when there, look for the light, I always do this turning around and looking for light that is different, subdued, vibrant or many other differences. Framing the photo then with a composition that I don't really think about but find pleasing in the viewfinder, then experimenting with depth of field and exposure times, always brightening and sharpening in Lightroom afterwards, so enjoyable!
