Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at Mt. Cephron and Waterfowl Lake, Banff, Alberta, Canada.

Time

Sunrise at 8:03 AM.

Lighting

Getting up and on location before sunrise and waiting for the warm golden light to complement the cold blues of the environment.

Equipment

I used a Canon EOS 50D, Manfrotto tripod. Canon 15.0-85.0 mm @ 15.0 mm. f11 at 0.40s

Inspiration

I went specifically to that location to get the sunrise and the mountains' reflection on the lake.

Editing

Shot RAW. I adjusted the light/contrast, sharpened.

In my camera bag

I use only Canon equipment EOS70D, EOS80D, EOS R. Zoom lenses. 100-400mm. 28-135 mm. 18-55mm. 24-105mm. Manfrotto tripod. Manfrotto Backpack 50. B+H ND Filter 8x.

Feedback

Arrive to a location early to give enough time for the set up. To get the mountains' reflection I had just a couple of minutes to get the light and a flat water before the wind started moving things around.
