Location

Lake Baikal, Russia

Time

Sunset

Lighting

This one was taken from a very low position in order to emphasize the crack. I used here a focus stack and an exposure blending technics to give it a better sharpness and dynamic range. Although the crack is only 2-3 cm deep I called it MIND THE GAP (If it doesn’t help at least it doesn’t hurt ?).

Equipment

Nikon d750 + Nikon 14-24 f/2.8 lence and a Manfrotto tripod.

Inspiration

A winter tour to Lake Baikal in Siberia is a great photography experience. The frozen lake surrounding Olkhon island is full of unique and fascinating nature phenomena and offers endless photography opportunities.

Editing

I used here a focus stack and an exposure blending technics to give it a better sharpness and dynamic range. The different photos were blended in Photoshop. Beside that some minor editing

In my camera bag

Nikon DSLR (d750) and 14-24 and 24-70 lences. Lee filters (ND, ND grads and a polarizer), a shuter release, a head lamp and today a Leofoto tripod.

Feedback

Dress well (:
