Amazing shot!

Behind The Lens

Location

Ahuriri Conservation Area

Time

08.44am

Lighting

Natural Lighting Overcast

Equipment

Canon 7D fitted with a Canon 24 -105 L series Lens mounted on a Manfrotto Carbon Fibre tripod and auto shutter release.

Inspiration

I had been trying to shoot another feature in the area but it kept raining. The people I was staying with suggested I try this valley. 27 kilometers of snow capped mountains.

Editing

Just basic Highlight.Shadows correction and check Black and white clipping

In my camera bag

At the time of capture I had A Cannon 7D, and a 40 D, Canon 24 -105 and 100 - 400 L Series lenses with Daylight filters for protection and Canon 100mm Macro Lens. Auto shutter release. This was my standard carry kit at the time. Manfrotto tripod.

Feedback

Seek out the best location the first choice is not always the best spot. Use a high f stop f22 or higher with camera mounted on a tripod.and use a shutter release I find this to be the best method for clean and sharp landscapes.
