I think it's cool that the reflection looks sharper than real mountains because of the haze!

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during my trip in the marvellous country of New-Zeland. The place is the beautiful Mateson lake with the reflection of the highest mountain in New-zeland : the Mt Cook in the South Island.

Time

It was taken during my first wandering after my arrival at Fox Glacier, I walk to the walk to the lake and it was around 5 or 6 pm on March 14th, 2008.

Lighting

The natural light was so interesting and beautiful, it was the perfect time to shoot this peaceful place with this so great reflection on water. Magical and quiet moment all around the lake.

Equipment

This was shot with my first DSLR a Nikon D70S with Nikkor AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G IF ED.

Inspiration

The picture talk by herself, the place, the lake, the reflection and light were amazing so taking many pictures of this place and moment was an evidence and a pleasure.

Editing

Yes a little coz I shoot only in raw so a little process (brightness, tone, contrast) on Camera Raw, that's all but always to by closer to reality.

In my camera bag

Most of the time I have a Nikon D850 with a AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR or AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED sometimes also a AF Fisheye-Nikkor 16mm f/2.8D and a little Joby GorillaPod tripod.

Feedback

If you are there it's because you like travelling, beatiful natureand photography so no hesitation to take the pleasure to immortalized this kind of place and moment, just do it !
