Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo out near the pond in the backyard of my old house out in the country.Time
This photo was taken between 4pm and 6pm.Lighting
It took several pictures to get the sky to reflect off the ice, but I just used the reflection of the snow and the light of the sun for this photo.Equipment
I used my Nikon D3200Inspiration
When taking this photo I was looking to recreate a picture I had previously taken during the fall, except this time I wanted winter/frosty scenery. The fall picture had colorful leaves on trees reflected in the water, so the goal here was for the sky and trees to be reflected on the ice.Editing
NoIn my camera bag
I normally just carry a couple different lenses, such has my macro and my 55-180 zoomFeedback
When taking a picture similar to this, you want to make sure the surface using to reflect is on the smoother side, or it won't come out as a good reflection.
