Location
The photo was taken at White River Lake in West Texa.Time

I wanted a long exposure that would give the water a slick, glossy look. It took some work to get the exposure and shutter speed to where the needed to be to get what I wanted.Equipment
All I used was a Nikon D7200 with a Nikkor 24-70 f2.8 lens, and a rock near the edge of the water.Inspiration
I'm not really sure. It was just something I wanted to try.Editing
I used Lightroom to slightly alter the lighting, shadows, and the colors to bring the photo closer to what I was seeing through my own eyes.In my camera bag
My D7200 body, my 24-70 lens, and my 18-140 kit lens.Feedback
Long exposures are best taken with a delayed shutter. It allows you to take your hands off the camera avoiding shake, allowing you to get a clean focused picture.
