Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken on Donner Lake in Truckee, CA.Time
This was in the morning while the lake was still calm around 9am.Lighting
I really focused on matching the light in the water and the landscape to immerse the viewer.Equipment
This was taken on a GoPro 3+ Black, mainly because of the waterproof features.Inspiration
I live showing energy in images. This captures the feeling of a morning swim or paddle and I love that.Editing
Yes, the main thing with any GoPro shot is to correct the lens distortion. From there I imported it to Lightroom and made adjustments.In my camera bag
I always pack at least three lenses; a wide, medium, and telephoto usually from 16mm-200mm. This covers me well. Now days I use a 6D for most stills but shoot film on a RED.Feedback
Use a fast shutter speed to freeze the action of the water. Have fun! Be creative!
