Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo of my brother in front of our home on the lake during the Christmas holidays. We had family and friends to stay for the week and everyone was enjoying some very cold weather.

Time

This photo was taken on a cold morning (about -15c) just after breakfast with the sun rising over the lake. We had always heard about the "boiling water freezes in the air at -10 trick", but hadn't yet tried it.

Lighting

It was early morning with the sun just breaking so naturally provided a great sillouhette.

Equipment

I only had my iPhone 6s handy but if I knew it was going to Be such a great shot, I would have used my canon

Inspiration

Having family and friends gathered at the holidays always puts us all in such fun and creative moods, we just wanted to have some fun out of the ordinary

Editing

I just used the Apple photo app to adjust the saturation

In my camera bag

My usual equipment is a Cannon 700d

Feedback

I personally feel to make a subject more powerful you need to get low and shoot up at them, with the right light and background it creates an incredible silhouette
