Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken after a night hiking (4h) on top of mountain Pilatus. This is located in the center of Switzerland. The lake it's called "Vierwaldstättersee" or "Lake Lucerne" because of the beautiful town "Lucerne" at the left wing of the lake.

Time

The photo was taken on the 19th of October 2013 at 07:30 a.m. It was an amazing sunrise with all those automn colors.

Lighting

All natural lighting :-)

Equipment

Sony A-850 with Sigma 12-24mm (17mm, ISO100, F/16, 1/4 sec.) on tripod, no flash

Inspiration

This was the 3rd time I was hiking up the mountain to get a picture of the lake with a nice Sunrise. The weather forecast was nice (weather change =&bt; nice clouds and colors). I was at the right time at the right location, lucky me.

Editing

I edited the picture in Lightroom within 2 minutes.

In my camera bag

My Sony A-850 with a lot of different lenses... but then I normally use the Sigma 12-24 or the Vario-Sonnar 2.8/24-70 ZA SSM II. Sometimes I also use some different filters.

Feedback

Check the weather forecast carefully, without clouds the picture would be boring. Then have some luck! ;-)
