Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in Dolomites in Italy on the route leading to the Seceda peak.Time
I woke up at night to get to the parking and started to climb to the top, because a long day in the mountains awaited me. This was taken on October 19, 2017 at 9:09 AM.Lighting
The light beautifully painted the trees around and fell into the frame to the town located in the valley.Equipment
This was shot on a Canon EOS 5D Mark III, with a Canon EF 16-35 mm f/2.8 L II USM lens. I used a tripod also.Inspiration
"Wanderer by the sea of fog" - the most famous painting by Caspar David Friedrich.Editing
This picture is an one frame. I did not combine two photos. Standard correctiond as in most of my photos: contrast, shadows, overexposure, color saturation, white balance. The light was so wonderful that the RAW file looks beautiful.In my camera bag
The first thing I always pack is my Canon EOS 5D Mark III body. Due to the love of landscape photography, I always pack my favourite lens Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM. In the trip it is also useful to sometimes bring a piece closer, so the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM is also included in the bag.I love to capture the people with whom I travel or encountered in a given region of the world. Canon 50mm f/1.4 EF USM is ideal for this. The picture from this lens is beautiful. Shallow depth of field is what I love most in people photography.Feedback
Landscape photography requires a lot of dedication from the photographer. The most important is the light for me. So we take photos at sunrise or at sunset. Therefore, it is often necessary to set off on a trail at night with headlights on the head. In winter, the difficulty is the mud and fresh snow that is sometimes covered and knee-deep. We must also be lucky for the weather, so it is very important to observe weather forecasts. If we are on spot and will "play everything", we have an amazing spectacle in front of our eyes, which we can also show to others through photography.
