Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in the Italian Dolomites, Passo Giau. The area is close to Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Belluno province, Veneto.

Time

I took this shot during the cold winter, exactly the 6 February 2016 at 6.10 pm. I tryed several times to make this shot, because every time the cars stopped in the shelter that you see on the right. Fortunately one came at the right time, and I was able to realize the photo.

Lighting

I wanted this image because is a little bit different from the others that you can see from this place. The light trail and the blue hour with the snow, is a winning combination for me.

Equipment

This shot was taken using Canon 6 D - Canon 16-35 F4 and Manfrotto Tripod.

Inspiration

It was a spontaneous thing, before I was photographing the sunset nearby, and when I saw the way I imagined the picture right away. I made many attempts and one went well, think that to realize this photo it took two and a half minutes of exposure, in all that time many things can happen.

Editing

Yes, I used Photoshot to adjust the hue and give some dimension to the snow. I gave details in some area, but overall It was a very simple post production because 3/4 of the photo was already made in the field.

In my camera bag

In my bag I have with me my Canon (now I have the 5d mark IV, minimum 2 batteries, 3 or 4 SD, my lenses (Canon 16-35 F2.8 III, Canon 24-70 F4 and Canon 70-200 F4). I love use filters as well, I have many NISI filters, and also some Hoya polarizer. I need the remote control and also my Led Lenser. About Tipod I'm using now the Sirui TX2204 and k20 ball head.

Feedback

Certainly, to make a shot like this you need patience, and a bit of luck. First you have to understand how many minutes to keep the shutter open and adjust the parameters accordingly. Being a long exposure is also essential to use a tripod, the camera in bulb mode and a remote control.
