Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during a family outing to La Laguna Don Manuel, located in Costa Rica.

Time

While waiting for the sunset, I had a great surprise to see behind me as the full moon begins to look between the mountains.

Lighting

Definitely, the dim light of the sunset, when the sun gives us the last rays of light of the day, gives an interesting atmosphere to the photo.

Equipment

The photo was taken with a Nikon D3300, an 18-55mm f / 3.5 and a tripod.

Inspiration

The lagoon of the photograph, is a place very visited by the Costa Ricans, I went to this place hoping to make a totally different shot to which everyone is accustomed to see.

Editing

The photo was taken in RAW, and then processed in Lightroom. The white balance was corrected a bit and shadows were recovered.

In my camera bag

I always carry my 18-55mm, a 50mm of Youngnuo and a 55-200mm, it can not miss tripods and gradient filters.

Feedback

Take many shots, to make sure that at least one you like, play with the exposure of the photo since at this time the light is very low and if you want to have enough information, you can choose to join several photos to different exposures (HDR).
