Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at Duck Lake state park on Lake Michigan. My parents live a few miles down from here so it’s my go to sunset spot. It’s also well known as the romantic spot.

Time

Sunset. In Michigan in December the sunset is not even 5pm.

Lighting

The clouds really determine the light here over the big lake.

Equipment

Canon 5d mark 3, canon 50mm f/1.8

Inspiration

I just love shooting sunsets.

Editing

Shot in raw, color touch up and lightened in Lightroom. Also I take a iPhone picture for color reference.

In my camera bag

Canon 5d mark 3, Panasonic gx1, Canon 50mm f1.8, Canon 70mm to 300mm, lumix 45mm 150mm, Manfoto travel tripod, nd filters, DJI mini 2

Feedback

Scope out the spot in daylight. sometimes it takes years of shooting the same spot.
