Lake of Reinebringen
Sometimes we try to reach a place we cannot see clearly by other means. This photo explains just that for me. When you go to Reinebringen, there is a lake below, but it is quite dangerous to bend down to see the whole lake. For this reason, I photographed this lake in Reinebringen by going above sea level, in other words, using a drone. In this way, I was able to capture the entire lake in my frame. Reinebringen is a hill with panoramic views rising above the village of Reine in the Lofoten Islands. The lake, located on this hill at an altitude of approximately 570 meters, is fed by rain and snow water and its level is adjusted automatically. There is a continuous water discharge channel through the lake and discharge occurs naturally. I saw this lake for the first time when I climbed there. There is no chance of seeing it from sea level. You can only see this view if you ascend with a drone. This view from that height impressed me in every way. The contrast, cloudiness and shadows in this photo I took early in the morning were really beautiful. The dark water of the lake and the reflection of the thin snow on it were also worth seeing. My exif settings when taking the photo were iso 100, 10.3 mm, -0.7 ev, f/5.6 and 1/120 sec. I used supercontrast with basic settings when processing the photo. Thus, I increased the contrast effect between colors. It was good to add a little mystical effect to this photo. Finally, I completed the process by adjusting the sharpness with some vignette and noise reduction.
