I voted in the contest for your photo, I think you were one of the very few(if there are any) who followed the rules and were loyal to the subject. I hope you win!

Frankly, i was surprised that hardly anyone followed the rules. This is the first time that I entered a Viewbug contest for product campaigned so i just figured out that everyone would follow the rules. Well, may the chips fall where they may!!

Location
This photo was taken at Deer Lake in Burnaby, BC Canada. I have been honing my photography and editing skills as an amateur photographer. I decided to enter a photography competition by Michelob Ultra and gave it a try. I followed the perimeters of the competition and recruited my husband. I put my camera on a tripod and took this photo with a remote hidden in my hand. I’m glad that the photo was well received and I hope to do more photography in the future.Time
The photo was taken in the afternoon. It wasn’t my ideal time of the day since I normally shoot during sunrise or during sunset (golden hour). I normally like to shoot with natural light but my compressed schedule only allowed me time to do the shoot in the afternoon.Lighting
I had to work with the afternoon sun so I was fortunate that the day was cloudy. I used the cloudy conditions to my advantage even though I typically don’t like to take outdoor photos during the afternoon. I only use artificial lighting during photo shoots in a studio or indoors. However for outdoor photo shoots, I only use natural light.Equipment
This was shot on Sony A7iii with an Focal lenght of 85mm, fstop f/5.6., ISO-1000, Eposure 1/640.Inspiration
Using the guidelines of the contest, I went to the nearest forested area with a lake close to my house. I wanted a natural setting as opposed to a studio setting. The earthy colours of the natural setting was exactly what I wanted for this photo.Editing
Yes, I am self taught in Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop. Michelob asked that they didn’t want an overly edited and processed photo. I used my skills to lightly enhance the photo. I think the operative word would be “tweaking” the photo as opposed to being heavy handed with it.In my camera bag
Sony A7iii, Canon 77D are my two camera bodies. I won’t list all my lenses but my favorite lens is my 50mm lens. I also usually bring my tripod everywhere. I normally do not carry a flash since I prefer using natural light.Feedback
I think that lighting is extremely important. That is why I normally shoot during golden hour and blue hour. I don’t like taking my flash with me and I am more of a landscape photographer. So, natural light is paramount to me when taking photos.
