Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Zelenci natural reserve near Kranjska Gora, Slovenia

Time

It was shoot at sunrise

Lighting

It was a great misty morning with light coming from behind, I was waiting for the sun to light up the mountains in the distance wich I captured in this photo

Equipment

I used nikon D810 with nikkor 24-85 VR I used lee 0.9 graduated filter to balace the exposure between the sky and foreground

Inspiration

I always wanted to visit this part of my coutry and I finaly did this summer. I got realy lucky that I got misty conditions.

Editing

I imported the photo to lightroom and first opend up shadows and lowered the highlights. I adjusted the contrast and croped the image to my desired composition. Then i imported it to photoshop where I cleaned up the image of any spots or dirt I spoted and in the end I sharpend the image.

In my camera bag

Nikon d810, nikon 24-85 VR nikon 18-35, nikon 70-300 VR, tamron 150-600 VC, lee filters and wired remote

Feedback

To get this kind of photos you almost must plan it before hand. I looked the locations up on the web and stationed near by in the apartment. I had about 10 min to the locations so I went there about 1 hour before the sun got up. Mist was just surprised bonus wich made the photo just perfect.
