Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken in Luxor, Egypt.

Time

We had to get up for a pre-dawn boat ride across the Nile.

Lighting

Predawn and sunrise lighting.

Equipment

The Egyptian military frowns on photographs around military installations so I left my Canon 5D Mark IV in the hotel and used my Canon G9X that fits in my pocket.

Inspiration

A ballon from another ballon at sunrise is hard to pass up.

Editing

Yes. Lightroom. I slid the saturation slider to the right, brought up the shadows and did some backlight work.

In my camera bag

International travel is my 5D and G9X a canon 24-105 lens , extra battery and SD cards is all.

Feedback

Be ready and plan your settings.
