Location
This photo was taken at a friends lake house two hours north of Montréal in Québec.Time
About 10:30am.Lighting
Just the sun, no clouds.Equipment
I use a Nikon D3 with the Nikon 14-24 2.8 .Inspiration
I wanted a nice relaxing photo that showed the beauty of this place. With the sun and no clouds in the sky, I think it made the perfect vibe I wanted to achieve.Editing
With the sun direct in the lens, you need to tweek a bit the raw file to get all the detail. I did tweak the highlights and shadows, brought up the contrast and some sharpening. All in Lightroom.In my camera bag
I usually carry my Nikon D3, 14-24, 24-70, 70-200, all 2.8 from Nikon. Also have my tripod and external trigger for night shots. I have the 35 and 50 1.8 Nikon also in the bag. Doesn't take much space and can be lifesavers in low light. Also carry my IShootRaw black rapid strap.Feedback
If I had to redo, maybe trying to get a moment when the water would be completely still. But as the sun goes up, wind takes up and water move. I did not use graduated filter and that could be something usefull if post-processing is not a strong point.
