Behind The Lens

Location

On the US side (Port Huron, MI). The ship was coming from Lake Huron under the Blue Water Bridge, which connects the USA to Sarnia, Ontario, Canada.

Time

It was 8:00 am on January 6th, 2008. The unusual coloring and texture of the St. Clair River is due to the fine coating of ice on the surface.

Lighting

My favorite time of day is from pre-dawn until at least an hour after wards.

Equipment

Canon 50D, using a Canon 18-200 zoom lens.

Inspiration

That's my favorite bridge and spot to catch the many freighters and other ships heading down river.

Editing

I only did the raw conversion and general adjustments in PSPro.

In my camera bag

Canon 50D, Canon 18-200, Canon 70-300. I also have a Nifty 50 and a couple other small lenses, which I rarely use.

Feedback

Be prepared to go belly-down on a really cold Riverwalk.
