Behind The Lens
Location
this was taken at Mormon row at Grand Teton Nation ParkTime
Just as the sun was risingLighting
There were some eastern clouds so it took a bit for the sunlight to pop and light up the barn.Equipment
Sony a99, ziess 24-70, gitzo explorer carbon fiber tripod, nodal Ninja pano headInspiration
I've seen this photo in quite a few ways as it's a popular spot, I wanted to get my own take on it, I hit the road in the off season in March and hiked through some snow in the dark and waited for light. I waited till there was a tiny break in the clouds so it would light up the barn. I wish I would have done a time-lapse video as well because the western clouds behind the mountains were hitting the peaks and disappearing like steam billowing out of a pot of water!Editing
Just color correction and multi shot panoramic stitching, nothing fancy. It's 20 frames stitched together, I like to shoot this was because you don't quite get to see what you have till you put it together plus it give you a really high res final image for big prints.In my camera bag
Sony a99, ziess 24-70 (go to lens), ziess 135, ziess 16-35, 50mm, 14mm, 15mm, 70-200mm, nodal ninja pano head, gitzo explorer carbon fiber tripod, lee graduated nd filters, lee polarizer, lee big 10 (I carry everything, and scale down if I need to hike)Feedback
any good landscape photograph is about effort, you need to scout your location, plan your light based on time of day, and how you are going to achieve the shot. You also need the right gear because the best cameras and lenses never see the range your eye sees, so the closest you can get the better. I use graduated ND filters to knock the sky down that is a good first step, whenever you are composing a subject against the sky you usually have to sacrifice exposure on the sky, so don't be afraid to add some filters, it's not old fashioned and if the data doesn't exist because of over or under exposure you can't "fix it in post". I shoot at a lot of national parks, the key is to discover things your own way. If you give a location some time and effort it will reward you!
