Location
This photo was taken on a hiking trail in Canmore, Alberta in Canada. I saw this view, and just had to take this picture.Time
This was taken in the afternoon as the sun was high in the sky. It was one of the most beautiful moments from that hike, and thus I remember the time of the day clearly. The exact time was 1:49 pm on May 20, 2018.Lighting
The sun was higher up in the sky giving a nice, natural lighting to the picture. My goal was to capture the beauty of Canmore, and the time of day was perfect for it as the sun was providing perfect lighting.Equipment
This was shot on a smartphone, the OnePlus 3T, and nothing else was used.Inspiration
I really enjoy taking images of natural beauty and showing off the landscape of Alberta. The reason I took this photo with the rocks involved in the bottom was to give a sort of perspective which is unique. This image, by including the rocks, showed the view from the perspective of the rock itself.Editing
The only post-processing I did was to increase the saturation of the colors a little to make the lake have a deeper view as originally, it was a little flat.In my camera bag
Usually, I have my smartphone, the OnePlus 3T and my Canon T5i with the 18-55 mm lens, but sometimes I also bring my zoom lens (75-300 mm).Feedback
The biggest thing is to attempt to take an image from a unique angle or perspective as this stands out and enhances the image itself. Next, take more than one picture to be able to choose later on which one you like. Finally, use any equipment you have available, do not just depend on a professional camera, instead use what you have, use your smartphone if that is what you have (as I did for this image).
