Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken on the Ladoga Islands, the Republic of Karelia. This is a very picturesque place with rocky shores, gulls floating above the water and seals that have accompanied our boat all the way.

Time

In June, it's time for the white nights on Ladoga, this time when the fine line between the sunrise and sunset erases .. I woke up around 3 am, I did not need to go anywhere, I waited only for light, as the tent stood next to the islands.

Lighting

Light and clouds were incredible, the lake was incredibly silent, it seemed all frozen and stopped moving

Equipment

I could only calm down, get a tripod and take this picture. The picture is made by bracketing 3 frames per camera Canon 6d and lens 24-105

Inspiration

The source of my inspiration is nature. Every time I have free time, I try to escape from the city noise and plunge into the world of colors, the sounds of nature, the waves, enjoy the singing of birds, the rustle of grass and the noise of rain ...

Editing

Usually, I process the photos first in the lightroom and then go to Photoshop. In the lightroom, I make the development of the frame, and in Photoshop already there is a more subtle work.

In my camera bag

Going on a trip, I always take the next set of lenses: 16-35 4.0, 24-105 4.0 and 70-200 2.8 and canon 6d.

Feedback

Ladoga skerries are a unique place in beauty, the pearl of Karelia. Northern nature in all its greatness appears before the traveler on the Ladoga Islands. And June and July are the most favorable time for visiting this national park. It's white nights and fogs, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and spending the night in tents gives more opportunities to create beautiful and memorable frames!
