The lake is located in Italy close to the border with France. The hike to get there has been quite tough but it was definitely worth it.
What a magical moment to wait for the sunrise alone in nature, facing the mirror of the lake's water, with black grouses singing from the tops of the larches.
The composition of this shot has been quite difficult because the rhododendrons were on uneven terrain, making it difficult to set up the tripod and experiment. Ultimately, it has been cropped significantly to make a balanced composition.
Taken with:
Sony A1 at 100 iso, 1/50s
Sony 16-25mm f2.8 at 16mm f11 (however, the final cropped picture is closer to 24mm)
Focus stacking of 2 images: one focused on the flowers and one on the trees.
RAW images have been edited into lightroom and then focus stacked into Photoshop manually. Final adjustments into lightroom.
