As I made one of the last turns off the mountain I saw the reflection of the mountain and sunset in a holding pond and got out and quickly took this shot.it was one of my first pictures I took after deciding to try my haND at photography.

Behind The Lens

Location

I captured this photo on a early morning drive home. I was right off the side of the road heading down a mountain in Colorado.

Time

It was sometime in the morning around 6:30am

Lighting

The lighting all came from the sunrise

Equipment

I actually took this photo with a Samsung Galaxy S6. When I got my camera out and setup for the shot I realized my battery had died overnight. I'm guessing do to it being 2 degrees all night where I was at.

Inspiration

I saw the pond on the side of the mountain every day on my way home. For some reason one this morning the light caught my eye as I passed by so I turned around to get the picture.

Editing

I enhanced the colors did some noise reduction and sharpened it a little but the wasn't any heavy editing done to it.

In my camera bag

My bag changes depending on the project. Most of the time I have my Sony A7Rii with a 85mm Canon 1.8 adapted lens. 2 godox flashes 3 extra batteries and a external battery pack with a tether tools case relay adapter so I don't have to worry about running out of power. I also use a vanguard alta pro tripod... I always carry alot of gear with me everywhere I go but these are the things that are with me no matter what.

Feedback

I will have a camera with me for the unplanned photos. You can plan shots all the time and make them work. But for me I like the unplanned shots that work the most.
