It is interesting how small children (and our pets!) perceive the world differently than we do. They are closer to the ground and see the grown-ups as

We hiked 5 km in search of this waterfall before realizing it was just 0.1km from the parking lot! So we missed the sunset shot that we had planned! B

Behind The Lens

Location

This was shot in Moraine Lake, Banff National Park.

Time

It was taken just before midnight in summer.

Lighting

A few yards away on my right was the Moraine Lake lodge which illuminated the canoes and the surrounding area.

Equipment

I used a Canon 6D, with a 16-35 mm f/2.8L lens, mounted on a tripod.

Inspiration

I love shooting the night sky and Moraine Lake provided the right orientation and perfect foreground for the shifting Milky Way.

Editing

Yes, I opened the file in Photoshop where I played with white balance, increased the exposure and lifted the shadows a bit.

In my camera bag

Aside from a wide angle lens, I always carry my ND filters, CPL and shutter release with me.

Feedback

I start with 3500 K for white balance, ISO 3200, f/2.8, 25 sec for shutter speed and go from there. I used the electronic level of my camera and make sure that my focusing is to infinity.
