Behind The Lens

Location

I was in Alton taking photos and saw ice bunched up under a bridge. I used my Sigma Macro lens to capture the image.

Time

If was in the afternoon, roughly between 1pm and 2pm, I believe.

Lighting

It was all natural light. I really lucked out here. No flash or extra lighting needed that day.

Equipment

Just my old trusty Nikon D90 I had. Nothing else but a steady hand.

Inspiration

It just looked really amazing, to see how the water moved along the Mississippi when it was so cold. It'd bunch up and freeze along the side. That is why I took that shot.

Editing

I just brightened it up a bit in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

I usually have my 2 camera bodies, 2 flashes and my 4 lens. An armful really haha. Oh and my batteries. Cannot forget those!

Feedback

Patience, and warm clothing haha along with a steady hand. If you need a pod, use it, either a mono or a tri. They'd help, too.
