Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken from the cruise ship as we ventured in to Milford Sound, I saw this ferry coming towards us and thought "how small it looked amongst the majesty of the mountain ranges.

Time

It was taken around mid morning after we had cruised through the mouth of the sound.

Lighting

There is nothing particular to comment about the lighting

Equipment

This shot was taken with an Olympus E-M1MkII using an OIympus 75-300mm f4.8, setting at f5.6 ISO 200

Inspiration

I wanted to take this photo as I thought that the mountains falling into the ocean in the Milford Sound were spectacular, and the height of the mountains were enhanced by the small passenger ferry that was at their base.

Editing

There was no particular post processing except basic exposure compensation and shadows and highlights

In my camera bag

I now carry a Sony A7r IV with a Sony 35-135mm lens and a Sony 70-350mm lens. I carry a tripod only if I'm shooting low light photography. I also carry an Olympus TG 5 for underwater and macro shots taken on the run.

Feedback

The South Island of New Zealand are spectacular to see at any time of the year, but more so after rain as the waterfalls in the sound are gushing cascade down the beautiful mountain side.
