Location
This was taken on a sunrise hike at Bamford Edge in the Peak District.Time
This was about 5am in the morning, i had started the hike in the dark to assure I was here in time for the sun coming up.Lighting
I just wanted to make sure I was in place for that first light of the day. I then just kept shooting at different intervals and this was my favourite one.Equipment
I had my Olympus omd em1 mkii with 12-40mm pro lens and a tripod. However this was taken with my recent purchase at the time which was my DJI mavic mini.Inspiration
I had seen this area many times on Instagram, and the rocks were covering part of the lake and views. I wanted to shoot it at the higher angle, which the drone gives you, to give you a greater sense of depth, and capture the whole scene.Editing
Yes, I processed the shot in Lightroom. Mainly finding the balance between the differences of light, caused by shooting towards the sun. Therefore dropping highlights and increasing shadows.In my camera bag
Olympus Omd Em1mkii with 12-40mm is my go to kit and lens as it is very versatile. I also carry a 75-150mm f2.8 lens. Back up memory cards and batteries are always in the bag. Then obviously the new addition of the DJI Mavic Mini.Feedback
With the recent changes in drone laws, it is making sure you are in compliance with the recent changes. I am in the process of obtaining the A2 CofC and GVC qualifications ready for my adventures this year. Also utilise multiple weather applications to assess flight viability and carry and anemometer to assess wind conditions.
