Location
This Photo was taken Idaho, At the Beautiful Priest Lake.Time
In the early evening just before the sun dipped behind the mountains in the west, It is mid September. At 6:43pm.Lighting
All natural !!! LOL the Sun was hitting the edge of the mountains , just before sunset for the lake area, the low light really played into the peaceful Scene.Equipment
I used a older model of the Cannon digital rebel. A standard 18x 55 mm lens, and of course a tripod set on 10 sec. timer.Inspiration
Ok , so after making Our camp dinner, and getting things situated at Our camp site. My wife and I headed down to the lake with Our chairs , so We could absorb the quiet energy and view coming from the lake and the distant Mountains. I wanted a shot that portrayed the overall experience of that weekend, On a normal weekend and from memory as a kid, the lake is quite busy with boats and swimmers etc. this particular weekend school was in session and the place was a remote island paradise, of which I have never seen. The water was calm, the air was still and that low light was to die for. The photo was a success!! Its Our free and easy moment!Editing
I took the raw image into photo-shop and worked the curves , I had no filters during the shoot, so a minor amount of warm tones were added to reflect the suns warmth.In my camera bag
I use a Cannon 60D now, 18-55 mm and a 55-250 zoom lens,Feedback
#1 Look at the Positives in Your Life! #2 Think about the good times You had at a given place or time and look for opportunities to reflect that mood. There is something to be said about pairing your environment and Your state of being! #3 Keep thinking positive!! : ): )
