Location
Taken at Jordan Harbour, near Beamsmille ON in Niagara areaTime
After supper in summer, early evening just before sunsetLighting
Perfect sunset over the harbour, with just a few clouds to make an interesting backdrop, and wonderful reflection of the paletteEquipment
Nikon D800, no flash, hand heldInspiration
I did not expect such a wondrous sunset, with little wind and enough clouds for a perfect backdrop. The water was like a mirror and the colours of the setting sun was magical.Editing
Very little processing, just minimally with saturation and white balance. This is a seven frame HDR in order to capture the light and dark areas.In my camera bag
I usually capture landscapes so I use my Nikon D810 with 16-35, and 70-200. I do carry the 20mm in case I need it. I also carry the 105 macro for floral closeups.Feedback
I like to really take in the scene, appreciate the uniqueness of the place, time of day etc, before picking up my camera. I think luck plays a large part in being in the right place, at the right time.
