Dawn at the Lake front
Blue Misty Lake |
Lakes and reservoir are the next best thing after the sea, and in most lakes, lake front make the most beautiful place to sit back and enjoy the lake scenery, My advice would be to enjoy the sun set or sun dawn from the lake front and if the sky is not too cloudy you can enjoy a good view.
For a photographer lakes are
a fantastic place to harvest new ideas for a shoot, in most of the
lakes you can find birds
flying around and if the bushes are near there will always be animals
as well.
For me Its the Dawn and sunset
which I always love to capture, this need bit of a dedication and a
good gear as well but when considering the gear in these days even a
smart phone has a good point and shot cam,
My gear is canon 600 D and I used 18-55
mm default kit lens for most of these shoots and for some I used
canon 18-135mm / Tamron 70-300 mm as well.

Tips to do Lake photography
- First if you are taking the sun , then you have to plan it within the golden hour ( first hour from the dawn and last hour before dusk).
- And my advice is to go early and find a good spot and be ready.
- If you are doing slow shutter captures better to have dark filters with you , in case you might need them.
- Avoid high cloudy days and heavy rainy days, but then again there is no bad weather for photography because some times weather makes the best and rare shots.
- Be equipped with a wide lens.
- If you are going to take bird photography or wild life near the lake consider the wind direction as well , because animal can sense your appearance from the wind easily.
