Behind The Lens

Location

Navajo Monument Valley in Utah

Time

Late afternoon/evening around 5:00pm

Lighting

The October evening light was low enough to make the sand depressions interesting!

Equipment

Canon EOS 5D MKlll, Canon EF 17-40 f/4L USM

Inspiration

Just being in this valley is inspiring and then you wander and spot an interesting shot! The sand lines and Totems were in need of capture!

Editing

Darkened the sky and my usual color and contrast enhancement!

In my camera bag

Canon 5D Mk lll, Canon 7D MK ll, EF 17-40 f/4L, EF 100 f/2.8 Macro L, Tamron 100-400 f/4.5-6.3Di VC USD zoom tripod, flash and filters!

Feedback

When wandering in such a enchanting valley as this is, always look behind you as it maybe just as delightful!
