This photo was take on the rim of Crater Lake in the Crater Lake National Park, Oregon, USATime
It was taken in mid afternoon in SeptemberLighting
I used natural lighting for the initial shot. I was shooting color mode. I then converted it to black and white and manipulated the contrast using Lightroom.Equipment
I was using an Olympus E620 with a 35-70mm kit lens mounted on a Sunpack tripod. The tree was leaning more than I wanted so I tilted the camera to get the angle you see.Inspiration
We were exploring the rim area of Crater Lake when I rounded some other trees and sow this. I love shooting textures and this fit that purpose.Editing
I wanted to see what this would look like in black and white. Always have liked monochrome. Using Lightroom, I converted it from color and manipulated the contrast and lighting.In my camera bag
I am now using a Nikon D7500 with an assortment of lenses from 35mm to 600mm focal length. A remote flash, circular polarizing and variable neutral density filter are also in the bag. A carbon fiber tripod with a ball head are also included.Feedback
Don’t let the main attraction blind you to what’s around you. Crater Lake is a fantastic area for photos. Most come for the lake. I was actually standing with my back to the main attraction for this view. Keep your eyes moving. You’ll be surprised at what you’ll find.
