A few years ago, in late December, I was having dinner with friends at Lake Ouareau. Suddenly I saw the moon rising slowly over the mountain on the other side of the lake. Quickly I put on my warm jacket and mitts and took out my equipment to capture this wonderful scene.
I set up my tripod and long focal lens near the lake shoreline. I was struck by the cloud textures, the white fog near the ground, the light reflecting on the trees and the layers of subtle colour variation. Looking at the sky, I saw waves! All this beauty on a frozen white lake.
I used a 400mm focal length (35mm equivalent to frame the image). I realized that I, as a photographer, should always be ready to grab my equipment and take advantage of what nature has to offer!
