Location
This summer we went up north in Sweden to Hemavan. One trail up in the mountains is named Queens trail. It passes this river thats called Storbäcken. The Swedish mountains up north is called "fjäll". It is a marvelous place to hike in.Time
You pass Storbäcken fairly soon when you go on the Queens Trail. So this picture is taken late in the morning. I used a ND filter to be get a smooth water surface.Lighting
Actually it might be at bit to bright for this kind of effect. But a ND8 filter did the trick.Equipment
I have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 with a Lumix G 12-60 mm lens set at 36 mm. I used my tripod and a ND8 filter to be able to go for 1 sec exposure, ISO200 and f/20.Inspiration
Going up to the Swedish mountains I wanted to take some pictures of white water and really try out my ND filter. You can this kind of magic places with rapids all over in the Swedish mountains and the water is so clean that you can drink it.Editing
I always use Affinity to develop my raw files. I have increased the contrast and added some saturation in this case. The picture is also slightly cropped.In my camera bag
My bag is always packed with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80. My lenses all of them Lumix G three Vario 12-60 mm, 45-150 mm and 12-30 mm and also one 25 mm lens. I have one ND8 filter and a set of Close-up lenses for macro photos. Sometimes I also bring my tripod.Feedback
ND filter is really good to use for this kind of effect. I also strongly recommend a tripod so that you can compose your picture.
