Location
This photo was taken at Moraine Lake near Lake Louise in Alberta CanadaTime
Late afternoonLighting
I used existing lighting onlyEquipment
I used a Canon 30D SLR, hand heldInspiration
It is such a photogenic location overall and this tree just stood outEditing
I used Photoshop with camera raw and NIK plugins. I start with camera raw to reduce noise, check and adjust exposure, white balance, highlights, shadows, clarity, vibrance etc. then I go to PS where I do cropping use the clone and healing brushes and NIK plugins for further noise reduction tone mapping and final tone adjustmentsIn my camera bag
Canon 30D with 17-85mm and a Canon 70-300mm zoom lenses, polarizing filter, lens cleaning kitFeedback
first look for something that stands out to you, take lots of shots with different view points. If shooting on a sunny day, play with the sun, I have shot fountains with the sun behind my back but with the sun in front of your view behind the fountain, wow... Watch your horizon, remember water doesn't go uphill and trees tend to go straight up and most important of all have fun
