Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at Pirin mountain in Bulgaria. The lake name is Muratovo lake.

Time

The time i shoot this picture is sunset around 20:00. I was walking 10 hours this day to reach to Muratovo lake, climbing peak Vihren highest at the mountain. Waiting for the golden hour at Muratovo lake is little dangerous becous the nearest hut is at 2 hours walking speed and the darkness can make you lost in the mountain.

Lighting

Natural light at sunset golden hour.

Equipment

Camera: Canon 7D Lens: Canon 15-85 IS f/8 Circular polarising filter

Inspiration

I was dreaming to shoot Muratovo lake at sunset. It's no easy because the camping is prohibited and you have to walk to nearest hut around 2 hours in darkness.

Editing

Just RAW post-processing in ACR.

In my camera bag

In mountain i have my Canon 7D with Canon 16-35 f/4 L, CIR Pol and ND, Tripod.

Feedback

Wait for golden hour, use CIR Pol filter to remove reflection and tripod for low ISO at sunset. Composition is important, compose something in front, lines to guide the look to the depth of the picture.
