Behind The Lens

Location
I took this picture out at the bluffs in Scarborough, Ontario. It was a long walk through deep mud but once we got there it was worth it
Time
We arrived just before sunset, we were looking to capture the bluffs and the lake during this time. once I snapped a few normal ones I noticed this log and thought with the setting sun it would work perfectly with a glass ball
Lighting
The lighting is all natural lighting. I waited for the sun to go down a bit more to for a nice orange light.
Equipment
I shot this with my Canon T7i, Sigma 18-35 Art lens and my Cameron tripod.
Inspiration
I was looking around the beach trying to think of something different to do rather than just a straight shot of the lake and the bluffs, when I saw this log sitting there I thought I could get something nice with the glass ball and the colors just as the sun was dropping behind the bluffs
Editing
A lot of my landscape shots I do in HDR, which is how I did this, 3 raws at +2, 0 and -2 ev. then a few changes to the HSL, saturation, clarity. and Finally a few other tweaks in aurora HDR.
In my camera bag
My T7i and Sigma 18-35 are a must, I also bring along my Canon 35mm macro. Tokina 11-16 for super wide shots, a Manfrotto pixi tripod, spare batteries and memory card of course. my Cameron tripod strapped to the side of the bag. and then either a 50mm Rikenon manual lens or my 75-300 Canon lens. and a Yongnuo speedlite with a diffuser.
Feedback
The hardest part really for a shot like this is finding a suitable place to set the glass ball that it will stay in place preferably without having to use something to support it that you'll later have to edit out. using manual focus also helps a lot. it's difficult sometimes to autofocus the image inside the glass.
