Behind The Lens

Location

This is a short road just off Sir Francis Drake Blvd in Point Reyes National Seashore.

Time

Taken Dec 7, 2014 late morning.

Lighting

There was a high Marine Layer overhead so I underexposed because of the somewhat bright cloud background.

Equipment

With this shot I used a Nikon D610 with a 16-35mm Nikon lens on a tripod.

Inspiration

For this shot I wanted to capture the grander of the Cyprus Trees and the texture of the road so I put my tripod to it's lowest setting and lay flat on the ground to take the photo.

Editing

I processed this in LR and used a plugin from On1.

In my camera bag

I usually carry 16-35 and 80-400 Nikon lenses. I also carry an assortment of ND filters and tripod.

Feedback

This is a great road and tunnel shot with the giant Cyprus Trees and can be taken in either direction.
