Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken from Fremont Pass in Colorado. Between Copper and Leadville.Time
This image was created at night, shortly after the full moon had risen.Lighting
I experimented with shooting my flash and my headlamp into the lake to get the effect I wanted.Equipment
Canon 6d with rokinon 14mm, 580ex ii flashInspiration
I just got a new camera for shooting at night and wanted to put it to use. I specialize in night-scapes and I love the outdoors and sharing the natural beauty with others. I also like to create surreal images and show things how they are often not seen.Editing
Post processing is honestly where the magic happens, as long as you were good with acquiring data to work with to start. I processed in Lightroom initially, then used Nik filters in PS6, then a final edit in Lightroom before exporting. It can be quite the process, and would be hard to fully explain. But easier than processing tracked and stacked panoramas with longer lenses. Like my Clinton reservoir Milky way shot, that was much more complex.In my camera bag
Too much. These days, a 6d and a 5dsr, canon 24-70 2.8 ii, rokinon 14mm 2.8, rokinon 35mm 1.4, a tripod or 2 and 2 or 3 heads, a star tracker, polar scope, and power supply, dew heater, intervolometer, wireless flash triggers (phottix odin), a 580ex ii or 2, a headlamp. Sometimes add in other lenses, sigma 150-600c, Samyang 135mm f2.Feedback
Get out and experiment, do your research. Having a bag of tricks to build off is helpful before you even start. Pre planning is huge, know your lunar cycles, and where key features are in the night sky in relation to your potential subject/background/location.
