Location
The photo was taken at Helmcken Falls, Wells Gray National Park, Canada. 1 minute trail after the car park you can see the falls.Time
It was about early afternoon, weather was fine but not very sunny. The clouds let the pictures to be more dramatic.Lighting
Cloudy wether was helping but the time of the shot wasn't ideal so I needed to use an ND filter to help the shootingEquipment
This was shot on a DJI Mavic Pro drone. An ND filter was on the drone camera in order to reduce the light coming inInspiration
Helmcken Falls are an inspiration itself. These great giant and noisy falls are literally jaw-dropping. You can stare at them for hours and keep being amazed.Editing
Some post-processing with Lightroom , working on the exposure, lights, contrast, temperature, Whites and BlacksIn my camera bag
I usually have my Nikon D750 with the 24-120 lens on, which is more practical. If I need to shoot landscapes I prefer to mount the Tokina 11-16 on the Nikon D5200. The Mavic Pro is a new entry and I usually take it with me when there is the possibility to use it , that is to say, in the wild nature basically or where there are no houses around :)Feedback
Be sure you can run your drone in the area you want to. Check out signal of "no drone area" , or check out on the websites
