Behind The Lens

Location

The Picture was taken on the shores of Loch Lomond, Scotland, U.K.

Time

It was taken 30 minutes after sunset

Lighting

I took several pictures at different exposures and settings due to the fact my eyes couldn't see a great deal apart from darkness and a slight glimmer from the sky. Due to the darkness manual focus was required.

Equipment

Canon EOS 760D camera, Aperture 63/10, Exposure 6/1, ISO 1600 and most defiantly a sturdy tripod

Inspiration

Quite a few people are attracted to this part of the world and in particular this corner of the loch due to the fact it has a lone tree which adds to the composition.

Editing

.It most definitely needed post-processing, particularly the sky and reflection in the water (Lighten), I also needed to lighten the young lady beneath the tree.

In my camera bag

My needs change with the times, my camera bag these days contains the following, cameras DC G9, DC GX9, Panasonic Lumix 100-400mm, 50mm fixed, 18mm fisheye, 36- 80mm, 100-200 zoom, DJI mini 2 drone, various filters, and a mini Jobo tripod.

Feedback

Lots of patience and a fair bit of planning is a major requirement and be prepared to experiment with different exposures.
