Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in the Canadian Rockies Alberta. Moraine Lake is one of the most beautiful lakes surrounded by the Ten Peaks.

Time

I think we arrived there late morning it was back in September 2007 so cannot be sure. The lighting was just perfect with enough cloud to give some sky interest

Lighting

I used natural lighting

Equipment

I can't remember now what camera I used but I think it was just a small compact

Inspiration

The shear beauty of the place inspired me

Editing

Just a wee bit in photoshop to bring out the colours and contrasts

In my camera bag

spare batteries
