Location
This picture was taken in the mountains surrounding Beijing. One of the rare days the city was not polluted, we jumped into a cab and quickly went to Shengliang Shan, climbed this mountain and took a picture of this amazing view.Time
It was at the end of the day. We were so exhausted to hike than even carrying the camera seemed like too much!Lighting
When the sun goes down, any minute can make a world of difference. I was so afraid to miss the moment than I started running for the last few meters... I just had time - and energy - to take one picture!Equipment
A simple Sony DSC-RX100M2. Better to travel light when you hike!Inspiration
The hike was so exhausting that I knew for sure that I would never ever do do it again! Every single picture during that trip was motivated by a deep sense of urgency.Editing
A simple HDR Snapseed processing. Not much more.In my camera bag
When hiking, I always travel light: a small camera (Sony DSC-RX100M2) and a small tripod.Feedback
You may have the best equipment and skills in the world... but doing some exercise will be necessary to get there!
