Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken during a hike through the valley Kärkevagge. I captured our destination Trollsjön, the Troll Lake, from a high rock, giving a nice overview.Time
It was about 4 pm, August 2nd, the mountains were already beginning to cast a shadow on the lake.Lighting
The lake doesn't receive much sunlight over the year. Only in the summer months it can be seen illuminated by the sun.Equipment
I used a Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di SP AF on my Canon EOS 6D. I took all the needed photos handheld, as I want to carry as little equipment as possible on longer hikes.Inspiration
I just love creating spherical panoramas, giving the possibility to immerse in a great scene. This was a great spot and a highlight on our hike, so I took my time.Editing
Spherical panoramas require lots of post-processing. I took 11 image in every direction, did raw processing with RawTherapee to get the most detail from every photo, and stitched them all together with hugin. Afterwards I had to retouch quite a lot of stitching errors and remove people from the image, as this place it pretty busy in summer. I used GIMP for the last two steps.In my camera bag
I have three lenses for my Canon EOS 6D: A Tamron SP AF 70-300 f/4-5.6 Di VC USD telephoto lens, a Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di SP AF wide angle lens and a fast Yongnuo YN EF 50mm f/1.4 for low light or for a stronger bokeh. In addition I have several screw-on polarizers and close-up lenses and some adapter rings to fit these on the different diameters of my objective lenses. Spare batteries and memory cards go without saying.Feedback
Be prepared for some hours of post-processing for a great result, especially if you are not experienced shooting spherical panoramas! The time might be reduced using a tripod and a panoramic head to correctly rotate around the nodal point of your lens. This might become mandatory when there are big objects close to you which are not easy to retouch.
