Location
I took the photo during a two week trip to the Canadian Rockies, where my wife and I visited (and marveled at the amazing beauty of) Banff, Jasper, Yoho and Glacier National Parks.Time
It was late morning, on a hike around the perimeter of Emerald Lake.Lighting
The lighting was just there, the canoeists were just there, and all I had to do was frame and shoot. Tremendous luck.Equipment
Handheld, Nikon D610, 24-120mm.Inspiration
I think anybody who would have been at that spot at that moment would have reached for a camera. It was a no-brainer.Editing
In Lightroom I applied a graduated ND filter to the upper part of the image and some sharpening and a bit of saturation to the entire image.In my camera bag
My basic kit is my Nikon D610, the 24-120 mm lens (and sometimes a Sigma 12-24mm lens) and a Giotto tripod with a ball head.Feedback
Visit the Canadian Rockies and bring lots of memory cards!
