Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in a fly-in community in Nunavut called Taloyoak.

Time

It was taken around 11:30am, the first day that the sun rose above the horizon in 2018!

Lighting

In the arctic circle, the communities go through several months of 24-hour darkness in the winter, and 24-hours of light in the summer! This is the first time in the year that the sun breached the horizon in 2018.

Equipment

This photo was shot with a Nikon 5200. The lens was a Nikon 18-35.

Inspiration

I was very excited to finally have the sun back after several months, so we decided to go an celebrate its arrival!

Editing

No post-processing done here!

In my camera bag

The only things I have in my kit bag when I’m doing nature-shots are my base and my lenses!

Feedback

I suggest people try to find something that inspires them and makes them exciting about photography. That’s the best way to get an amazing shot!
