Location
This photo was taken in the mountains of Karachayevo-Cherkessia, Russia, during the trekking.Time
It was a lovely quiet evening. Despite the cold weather, after dinner, I went to photograph the lake. The sun had set behind the mountains, and I saw the magical sunset light on the slopes. Of course I could not miss a moment.Lighting
Evening and morning light I like always. Even when the sky is almost no clouds in the minutes of the most beautiful nature. It is for these moments should pass many kilometers and carry with them the equipment and photographic equipment. This picture clearly shows how beautiful the sunset hour in the mountains.Equipment
Of course, almost all the photos I shoot with a tripod. Especially in the evening and in the morning when you have to do long exposures. On that day, when I was shooting this lake, I had an old camera, Sony Alpha 200 with a simple lens 18-70. As you can see, not necessarily to have expensive equipment in order to make a beautiful picture. We just need the inspiration and the perfect place.Inspiration
Mountains have always inspired. No matter how hard it was, how much would have had to go with a heavy backpack, every look around fills me with a desire to go further, to see even more beauty.Editing
No need to repeat that without a post-processing images to do is impossible. Especially when photographing the old imperfect camera. But it is important to preserve the beauty of nature at the same time. I use the post-process of care, reduce noise, correct levels of brightness and very rarely do color correction. In this picture there is no color correction.In my camera bag
Usually with me always the camera with the standard lens, very rarely I take two. Both cameras are simple amateur, Sony Alpha 200 and Nikon d5100. For Nikon sometimes I take a macro lens Tamron 90 mm. Always be sure to have a tripod and filters - polarizing and neutral.Feedback
Photograph often. Do not despair if not satisfied - all have difficult times. Look around the world and tell yourself how beautiful show it! Be sure to examine technical issues. If you do not know how to operate the camera - it will not work. For this image I used hyperfocal distance to increase the depth of field, did a few takes and then chose the best. That's all!
