Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at Pang Gong Lake that's the boarder between India and Tibet. The lake is in the Himalayas and is a salt lake due to the fact that glazer water only flow in but it has no exit. The color of the lake change during the day with the moving of the sun accross the sky.

Time

The photo was taken late in the afternoon with the snow cap mountains on the Tibeten Chineese side lid up in the afternoon sunlight and reflect on the water in a morror image.

Lighting

The clear light at the roof of the world in the Himalayas is clear with no dirt in the air and so bright and blue. It's beautiful clear and bright.

Equipment

I Used my Canon 7D Mark 2 with a 2.8: 18-70 Sigma lens with no flash and travel tri-pot.

Inspiration

Just the beauty of the area with caramel chocolate mountains and the beautiful reflections inspired me to take photos at the lake.

Editing

I only use Photoshop CC for all my post-processing coz work must go out perfect.

In my camera bag

I have Canon and Sigma equipment in my camera bag with my Apple MacBook Pro.

Feedback

Always take great photos and never stop taking photos coz the more photos you take the more you will learn you camera settings and composition. Always look and learn from others if you can. Use Viewbug for inspiration.
