Behind The Lens

Location

Taken at Lake Rotoiti, Nelson, New Zealand.

Time

Taken around midday

Lighting

Although bright sunshine, the sun was overhead and slightly behind the view.

Equipment

Nikon D800, 17-35mm @18mm, 10 stop ND filter, old Gitzo tripod, cable release

Inspiration

There was not a breath of wind and the lake was like glass, I liked the way you could look into the water, plus the view behind!

Editing

Very little post processing, with a few light adjustments in lightroom.

In my camera bag

Nikon d800, ND and polarising filters, 17-35mm wide angle, 50mm prime lens, cake release, spare batteries.

Feedback

Yes, get out there early, walk around and relax into the atmosphere of what is around you, notice the light and where it comes from. Take your time and take fewer photos with more thought :)
