Reflection on the Trent and Mersey Canal

An early morning shot of the sunrise over the Trent and Mersey canal

Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken on the Trent and Mersey Canal in Staffordshire. It is a place the provides endless inspiration for me, I spend a great deal if time there.

Time

The photo was taken at sunrise. Being an early riser, I often venture out before dawn and manage to capture the beauty of the morning as the sun rises.

Lighting

Often in the early morning, the light can be rather low, so it is advantageous to learn about low light settings, and to experiment with various options.

Equipment

This was taken with a Cannon EOS 100D, using a standard lens and low light settings.

Inspiration

I love the natural beauty of where I live, it changes constantly, so provides endless opportunities to capture these moments.

Editing

I used a little enhancement of the light and vibrance settings post capture, and also some colour noise control.

In my camera bag

Always my cannon body, and for landscape photography I would not be without my wide angle lens, it offers a brilliant perspective when capturing a larger scape.

Feedback

Experiment with light settings, and don't be afraid to try something different. I find it very useful to be out and about early, before the rest of the world wakes up.
