Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the beautiful Lake O'Hara, in the Rocky Mountains of Canada

Time

This photo was taken right before sunset, when the whole valley became filled with pink and golden hues, and everything became still over the water.

Lighting

I used multiple exposures to ensure I could get the full range of details in the picture.

Equipment

This was shot with a Canon 7D and a 24-70 lens, using a tripod

Inspiration

This is one of the most picturesque areas of the mountains and I was so excited to spend a weekend in the area. It has the most beautiful lakes and larch trees. The mountains are always inspiring to me.

Editing

I used multiple exposure to create this images, and merged them into an HDR image, so I could capture the brightest highlights and the darkest details in the shadows.

In my camera bag

I always have my 24-70mm and a tripod. It also helps to have rain gear in the mountains!

Feedback

Get as close as you can to the waters edge, and try to capture something interesting in the foreground. Lastly, dont over-do HDR! It should still look natural.
