Location
Skies above Bora Bora. I was tethered to a helicopter with open doors (not to obstruct views) to get this shotTime
This was shot around 1:30 PM local timeLighting
It had just rained for a day and a half and the rain had just stopped. So, the sky wasn't completely clear as is evident from the cloudsEquipment
Nikon D810, Nikon 14-24 f/2.8 lens - taken at f/7.1 and 1/320 Shutter speed and ISO 64Inspiration
Just the sheer beauty of the area and the diversity of water color over such a small region. The only way to see the whole perspective is from above and that's why I kept following up with the helicopter company to make sure they were able to arrange this tour for me even though they were on an assignment in another islandEditing
Jut basic work in Lightroom to add contrast and vibrancy since I shoot in RAWIn my camera bag
Nikon D810 or D5, 24-70, 14-24 and 70-200 f/2.8 plus 80-400 f/4.5-5.6Feedback
Plan ahead. Book the helicopter tour in advance and keep confirming multiple times. Try and schedule it in April-June for the best weather.
