Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during my last trip in Trentino Alto Adige. The location is the Lake of Braies, Italy.

Time

This is one of the most beautiful photos that I took during the weekend. We woke up before the sunrise, for catching the first lights on the lake.

Lighting

I wanted to show the best moment in this magic place. A good location is always nice to photograph, but as a travel photographer, I have to do some sacrifices and show this kind of place on its best light moment. In this case, it was the sunrise.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D810 with my new Nikkor 14-24 f/2,8. I was of course on a Manfrotto tripod.

Inspiration

It was the first time that I went to this lake, we arrived in the late night and it was too dark for seeing the lake. When we arrived in the early morning, it was like looking at a mirror in the water. The reflections were so perfect, and the light... magic! I felt a big emotion and I understood that this could be the perfect moment.

Editing

Yes, I did! I corrected the balance of exposition with Adobe Photoshop CC 2018, increasing the saturation and opening a little bit the shadows.

In my camera bag

I usually have these gears: Nikon D810, Nikon 14-24 f/2,8, Tamron 24-70 f/2,8, Tamron 70-200 f/2,8, Nisi Holder and filters (ND1000), a Manfrotto tripod and some flashlights.

Feedback

Well, I would suggest arriving early in the morning for taking the first lights on the lake and also avoid the mass of tourist. Bring with you a tripod, because you can also try a long exposure with an ND filter. Just catch the moment.
