Location
I took this photo at the border between Gia Lai and Binh Dinh, Kbang District, Gia Lai Province in Vietnam.Time
I captured this image early in the morning when the sunlight was not strong. You see, my first trip with a few close friends was pretty rushed and tiring to keep trekking in the jungle. I realized my mistake in such a short time to know this spot well. I need more time for shooting. Therefore, I decided to come back by myself with what I wanted to do. Of course, I brought some food, water and a friend of mine is one of the forest rangers who advised me what I would do and stay overnight by myself in the jungle. I had to stay in the jungle for 2 nights, It rained like a cat and dog all night and It was only me inside the tent. I kept thinking again and again, this place is full of water, mosses, stones, rocks everywhere and very slippery so I had to consider all my camera equipment because I dropped my ND filters from my last trip and I could not get it back in the deep, strong moving water. Next morning, it stopped raining, so I woke up early the next morning to make sure of every my single step before I reached my right spot. I kept coming back and shooting from different moments. Finally, I was happy that I captured this place.Lighting
No, I'm using the nature light all the timeEquipment
I used very good tripod, a wide angle and good moments before shooting.Inspiration
This photo inspired me was reflection. You know, you can see waterfall all over around the world but I don't see the water with itself reflection. That's why I took this shot.Editing
I keep telling you that I am always using Lightroom, Photoshop and Camera Raw for processing all my images.In my camera bag
Usually, I am always taking 2 camera bodies and few wide angle lenses in my bag whenever I got out shooting.Feedback
My advice is, Keep doing what I really love to do. Just do it. That's it.
