Location
This photo was taken at one of my favorite places, Elephant Butte Reservoir.Time
I absolutely love this photo. We were tent camping at Elephant Butte Reservoir. I had planned on getting up with the sun to paddle before all the jet skis and boats went out. I rolled out of the sleeping bag, moved my SUP to the edge of the lake and sat down to take in the view. I grabbed my camera from it's bag just inside the tent, sat in the most awkward of positions, and captured this.Lighting
The sun was reflecting so perfectly off the lake. I wanted to capture that and the flare.Equipment
Canon Rebel T6, 18-55mm LensInspiration
sitting by the lake, taking in the sunrise before going out on the SUP.Editing
Some post-processing. I mainly enhanced some of the colors to bring forth the blues and shadows of mountains in the background.In my camera bag
I always have my standard 18-55mm lens. I also keep a handful of filters on me, such as high density and UV filters. I also have carry macro lens. A tripod and telephoto lens is often in my go bag as well.Feedback
This photo was taken following scenery evoking emotion in me, I would say let your heart and emotions lead the lens.
