Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the beautiful village of Gravedona at Lake Como in Italy, the scenery was breathtaking and we were lucky enough to stay in an apartment with an infinity pool!

Time

This was my favourite image from our weekend adventure to Lake Como, We woke up bright and early to capture the essence of the stunning lake.

Lighting

This shot taken in the natural morning light, I wanted the viewer to feel the warmth of the sun and see the water glittering in the sunshine.

Equipment

This was shot on a Nikon D5200 of on self timer propped up on a suitcase!

Inspiration

We had such a fun weekend in Lake Como, I wanted this shot to capture that. I said for the girls to try and act as natural as possible and not look at the camera...this made them laugh, which was exactly my plan and boom! I got the shot!

Editing

I did some minor post-processing in Adobe Lightroom with a preset I had previously created which brings warmth into the shot and the shadows lighter.

In my camera bag

For me, as im an amateur photographer, I take my kit lens, which is the 18-55mm which I found fitted my needs for the day time shots. I take my 50mm prime 1.2f lens for the evening shots, which allows me to have more creative control. I ALWAYS pack an extra battery too! Theres nothing worse than your camera drying when your capturing sunset timelapse!

Feedback

The weather in Lake Como in summer is pretty beautiful...the sun shines all day long. The sun goes behind the mountains during sunset, so dont expect a sunset shot however the sky lights up at night, so its beautiful to capture.
