There is a reason I just gave this a "masterpiece" award. Quality is outstanding, that depth of field, feels so real. Composition is perfect too, pro work indeed.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Minnewanka Lake, Alberta, Banff National Park, Canada.

Time

I made this capture at 2pm and Minnewanka was the last lake that I visited that day, I was pretty tired cause had to walk for about 25 miles before I reached this amazing place and realized it was worth all the efforts.

Lighting

I wish this capture was taken in the morning or during the sunset hours but unfortunately didn't have car with me.

Equipment

While making this shot I used tripod, Nikon 7000 camera and Nikon 18-300 lenses.

Inspiration

Actually , view that you see speaks for itself. I visited Banff National Park two times and that's my favorite place to hike , relax,enjoy the purity and beauty of surrounding nature. That's one of the rare places on earth where you feel as if time has frozen and the only sound you hear is the click of your camera.

Editing

As for the processing I just added some contrast and a little bit of lighting.

In my camera bag

Nikon 7000, lenses: Nikon 18-300, Tokina 11-16, Tokina 100 Micro.

Feedback

When I started photography 3 years ago I was reading a lot of articles with different ideas and advices. Now I'm just shooting and my advice to beginners - go and shoot, shoot, shoot. The more you involve in this process, the more interesting and useful habits and knowledge you acquire,
