Behind The Lens

Location

Lake Neuchatel / Switzerland. The exact location can be found with Google Earth - some secrets must be.

Time

It was hard: getting up at 0400 AM, but as always it was worth of it to be on location at 0500 AM.

Lighting

The light was the most important part here. I was lucky to got such great conditions for this long exposure.

Equipment

Nikon D4s, Nikkor 14-24mm (@ 16mm, ISO50, 5 sec, f/18), tripod, ND3 Lucroit filter.

Inspiration

A had this picture a long time in my mind, but never had the occasion to take it. The fact it worked so perfectly the very first time made me worshipping - that's why I've chosen this title. The fact this place is in Europe makes some people wondering as quite a lot of them think it could be in Asia. That's also why I wanted to have this shot in my portfolio.

Editing

As it was always in photography post-processing is an important part of the art. Here I rides up the shadows and just corrected the horizon a bit.

In my camera bag

One always has to decide what to carry with you - I guess you have a lot of quite great but heavy stuff at home ... So when I go out for landscapes I usually have my Nikon D800, the Nikkor 14-24mm, a tripod and some ND filters with me. Otherwise my Nikon D4s, which is my allround camera. My standard lens is always the Nikkor 24-70mm.

Feedback

Listen to your heart and get up early even the bed feels so warm and comfortable ... Plan your shot in advance. There are some useful apps like Google Earth and TPE.
