Location
This was taken near the village of Queen Charlotte on Haida Gwaii, across the highway from the Sea Raven hotel.Time
It was taken in the morning, probably around 7:30 am in the middle of spring.Lighting
The morning light with the broken cloud was soft and gentle. The air and wind were also calm and quiet. It was just generally very still.Equipment
This was taken handheld, with the camera on my phone.Inspiration
The quiet stillness of the ocean and reflection of the colors of the sky on the water... It was was a beautiful moment and I was lucky to capture it.Editing
Post processing was minimal as I could not save it in raw at the time.In my camera bag
If I have my actual camera bag, then my 90d, and lenses from 10mm to 600mm.Feedback
If you are on Haida Gwaii, slow down and just look. The environment you are in is ancient and stunning and as pristine as you will find. Just slow down, breathe and take it in.
