Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture in August 2011 at Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park. It is still one of my favorites and was a winner in a Montana photo challenge last November 2015.

Time

It was early morning not long after sunrise. I took this before we headed on a hike around the lake.

Lighting

The natural early morning light on the lake made the reflection bright and clear.

Equipment

At that time I was using a Nikon D3100 with a Tamron lens.

Inspiration

It was so still and quiet, we were the only people there at that hour. We parked and I looked up and there was all this beauty.

Editing

My personal esthetic is natural and straight forward, so I rarely do more than crop images.

In my camera bag

Since I took this picture I've had one other Nikon and am currently using a Sony a58 with a Tamron 18mm lens. Its a fun camera with lots of extra features, and I love it. All of my lens have been Tamron's, they are durable and if something does go wrong I've had great customer service from them.

Feedback

My personal moto is shoot in bulk its easy to delete. If I get 10 good pictures and 1 great picture out of 100+ it's a good day.
