Behind The Lens

Location

This was shot at Mason Lake, an alpine lake in the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington state.

Time

I shot this on June 14, 2014 at 2:39pm after about 4 hours of hiking to reach this spot.

Lighting

This day was a battle between sun and fog with the fog winning out. The fog and mist settling on the water gave this shot an eerie, mysterious feel.

Equipment

Nikon D5300 with an 18-55mm lens, no tripod, no flash.

Inspiration

I was actually disappointed at first with the conditions. Mason Lake is a beautiful lake I've hiked to many times and I wanted to capture that beauty. I quickly realized the fog gave it a different and dramatic kind of beauty.

Editing

I didn't do any post-processing to this photo except converting it to black & white.

In my camera bag

Nikon D5300, 18-55mm lens, 35mm lens, polarizing filter, tripod.
