Location
The photo was taken at the crater of Mount Pinatubo in Zambales. The climactic 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo destroyed the volcano's original summit. In its place is a 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) diameter caldera, the center of which is offset 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) northward from the pre-eruption summit. It was created from the collapse of the volcano's summit on June 15, during the period of abundant large earthquakes in response to withdrawal of a large volume of magma from the reservoir beneath the volcano.By early September 1991, a shallow lake formed. The high precipitation rate of the area led to a rapid transition from a small and hot acid lake to a large lake with near-ambient temperature and pH.Time
It was a two hour trek from the drop off point up to the crater of Mount Pinatubo. It was before noon time when I took the photo.Lighting
Since it was almost noon time, I used a 6 stop ND filter together with a CPL for me to make a long exposure shot.Equipment
I used a Canon 5D mk II with a 17-40 f4L lens on a tripod. Attached on the lens arn ND & CPL filters im order to get a long exposure shot of the scene.Inspiration
I have seen several wonderful photos of the scenic lake in the crater of Mount Pinatubo. Luckily, I was able to visit the place and capture its beauty.Editing
I post processed the photo in Adobe Light Room for the global adjsutments and Adobe Photoshop for the contrast, dodging & burning and sharpening.In my camera bag
For taking landacapes I use my Canon EOS 6D mk II, UWA lens and filters.Feedback
Just take the shot! Make the most out of it!
