Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken on Savica lakes - in Zagreb, Croatia.

Time

Early in the morning. I wish it was taken earlier, but it needs some time to get there.

Lighting

Yeah. In that particular moment light was perfect. Because of the clouds. The rest of the morning - not so good.

Equipment

Pentax K-5 and (borrowed) Pentax-DA 10-17mm F3.5-4.5 Fish-Eye lens. No tripod on this photo, with Pentax I do bracketing handheld - it is fast enough. But in some situations, tripod is irreplaceable.

Inspiration

Nothing really. Savica lakes are inspirational by itself, especially in the morning. I recommend them if you're close.

Editing

Yes - three photos bracketed and processed in Lightroom, then merged in Photomatix, then processed again as TIFF in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

Depends on situation. Now I have three Pentax cameras; K-5 IIS, K-3 and newer K-70. Lots of manual lenses, Pentax DA 50mm f/1.8, Tamron 70-200 f/2,8, Samyang 8mm f/3.5 and my faithful Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 non VC which works much better now because of incredible dynamic range of Pentax cameras.

Feedback

For me, it's very important to have a camera in which you can really enjoy. And I am enjoying in Pentax cameras a lot. Any wide lens sharp enough and fast enough can do the trick. Take a sturdy tripod if you don't have a fast camera and do the bracketing occasionally! :)
