Behind The Lens

Location

I was with my husband and our two small dogs (Ollie & Milo) when we went exploring on a wintry Sunday. It was a cold, crisp November afternoon when we walked on an icy, narrow trail around Chinook Lake in Alberta. The Rockie Mountains never disappoint and are always spectacular.

Time

This photo was taken in the afternoon of November 22, 2015 2:39:52 PM.

Lighting

The shadows that were displayed across part of the frozen lake reminded me of long fingers that I found interesting to photograph.

Equipment

I used my compact Nikon Coolpix S9100 camera as it's easy to pack on the trails.

Inspiration

My favorite season is winter and when I looked at this scene I wanted to try and capture this beautiful landscape.

Editing

I used an adjustment of clarify and a white balance.

In my camera bag

I only have my small compact digital camera with me most times when I'm out and about. I love the ease of being able to put it in my pocket and not worry about lens and other camera equipment.

Feedback

Always carry a camera no matter the size as you never know what you might see to inspire you.
