Behind The Lens
Location
I was on vacation to the South Island of New Zealand and one of places I visited was Queenstown located on Lake Wakatipu. This tree is on the beach near the Queenstown Gardens.Time
If I recall correctly it was around noon.Lighting
I was fortunate that I was here at the right time of day where the sun was in a good position to highlight the tree and it’s surroundings.Equipment
I shot this with my first DSLR, a Canon 60d and the kit lens that came with it.Inspiration
As I was walking along the beach towards the public gardens I saw this unique tree growing on the beach with the bright blue water of the lake behind it and really needed to stop and get a few shots.Editing
Not really except for a little cropping to get the tree to fill the scene completely.In my camera bag
I have upgraded to the Canon 7d MkII since this trip and along with that body I carry several lenses at all times to fit most situations I encounter in my travels. My most used are the Canon 18-135mm, a Sigma 10-18 wide angle, Canon 70-300mm and the Canon 400mm f/5.6 L prime.Feedback
Time of day and the position of the sun is very important.
