Behind The Lens

Location

Apgar Village on Lake McDonnald in Glacier National Park, Montana USA

Time

Night or early evening.

Lighting

The lighting was provided by a Super Full Moon and the "dreamy" effect because of a lot of forest fire smoke that also added some pink coloration.

Equipment

Nikon D800E and a Nikon 70-210 zoom on a tripod

Inspiration

Everybody photographs those boats on the dock, so I felt compelled to do it differently by photographing it at night.

Editing

HDR by shooting 7 shots of varying exposures on a tripod at 70mm f8. I used Photomatix to combine all 7 images, then is CS6 using Topaz Adjust to bring up the contrast and give it some pop.

In my camera bag

Nikon D800E, manfrotto tripod, Samyang 14mm f2.8, Nikon 24mm f1.8g, Nikon 50mm f1.8g, Nikon 85mm f1.8g

Feedback

Think outside the box and don't be afraid to created images differently. Remember, if you don't scare your self your not trying hard enough.
