I love how you held shadow detail in the face. What camera system and color app did you use.

Thank you so much, I shot this on manual with high aperture on a sigma 70-200mm. I haven’t retouched the image as I believe the way it is in raw form lends itself to its narrative

You’re touching my heart. I love Sigma glass and use it in my motion picture photography. The fact that you held detail in the shadow with highlight overexposure reveals what I love about Sigma glass the most. What was your reason for capturing this image as an artist?

I believe the winter period is so tough for many peoples mental health, especially during these current times. I wanted to capture the beauty in the sunrise the givers reflection to warmer days and that emotes colour of calm and summer. And to do this in winter a believe gives a little pick me up to those who see it.

Hey there, fellow photographer! What inspired you to take this beautiful photo? What camera did you use? What programs did you use for post-editing?

 

[PictureKellz]

Thank you so much. I wanted to give a photo that spreads happiness in hard times and capture something seen that’s not normally associated with winter which is why I love the tones of orange yellow and greens. I used a canon 750D and a Sigma 20-300mm lens, I haven’t edited this picture as feel the raw uncut version had a beauty I didn’t want to touch.
