down in the river it was still dusky looking but the sun was just coming up over the mountains and highlighting the tops of the treesEquipment
Nikon D7000 Nikkor 24-70 2.8, tripod, 5 exposures 1 stop between eachInspiration
The river was so peaceful and just wanted to be out in the woods by myselfEditing
combined 5 exposures into an HDR and then took the harsh edge off in LightroomIn my camera bag
D610, Nikkor 14-24 f2.8, Nikkor 24-70 f2.8, Nikkor 70-200 f2.8Feedback
Patience and walking around thinking about the surroundings and how it will look in the frame. Don't rush the shot but work with a purpose so you don't miss the shot
