This photo was taken in a no name creek in the wilderness of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, CanadaTime
Midmorning on a heavy overcast day.Lighting
Given the heavy overcast it was possible to avoid the shadows. Yet being in a heavy forested area it was still quite dark.Equipment
This was shot with a Canon 5Ds, and a Canon 16-35 lens, always tripod mounted, with a circular polarizing filter attached, remote shutter release.Inspiration
One can appreciate the natural beauty of the wilderness and often will explore creeks by walking up to find such delights as this. There is something mystical about water tumbling and falling in a forest setting. We try to bring that out in a photo showing the serenity, tranquility, and power in our photos to share with others.Editing
Shooting in RAW format I attempt not to change very much nor overprocess photos. Touching a little for the highlighting of the water.In my camera bag
When I wander the back roads I will generally pack my Canon 5Ds with my landscape lens 16-35 on it. While my secondary camera a Canon 5Diii would have a 100-400 mounted for wildlife, or singling out a landscape shot, Slowly transitioning over to a secondary camera being a Sony A7Riii, with Sony lens 16-35, and a Sony 200-600 lens. Polarizer filters, Neutral Density filters, remote shutter release, lens cloths, is my bare minimum. Should I know I will be doing some portraiture work in combination than I will add a 24-70 lens, 70-200 lens, Gotox V1 flash head.Feedback
Take your time and just do not shoot from one height. Have appropriate footwear to get out into the water if needed. Do not be afraid of the weather, use it. Tripod mount, particularly for the long exposures. Get the camera out of any auto mode, while I prefer AV mode, aperture priority, manual works extremely well, learn who to use them both. Remember your capturing these shots for you, how you represent it, so composition. The best advice I was ever told many years ago, have the photo tell a story.
