Behind The Lens

Location

Llyn Padern. North Wales UK

Time

Golden hour sunset.

Lighting

This took one years planning. I wanted to shoot in autumn with colours changing. At this location setting sun illuminate the distant mountain peaks adding to the drama.

Equipment

I used my Canon 5D Mark III on a tripod attached to a cable release and 16-35 lens. Had a Lee polariser and a 0.9 neutral density soft grad filter.

Inspiration

It’s one of the iconic images in Snowdonia North Wales.

Editing

Some contrast and sharpening.

In my camera bag

I plan the shot and take the lenses accordingly. Rest of the equipment would be tripod cable release and my bag of Lee filters.

Feedback

Plan the capture including the season and time of day. Also check the weather of the area and be ready for any change.
