Behind The Lens
Location
Cades Cove, Tennessee. I wanted to photograph the stars without any light pollution so I decided to take an impromptu camping trip and stopped at a store and bought a little one man tent and off I went on my adventure.Time
Early evening.Lighting
It's always a good day when you get such pretty light.Equipment
Nikon D800 TripodInspiration
I spotted this meadow and thought it would be perfect for what I had envisioned. Luckily I hiked in before sunset and was fortunate to capture this beautiful light. Unfortunately the clouds were rolling in and I knew my hope of stars had vanished until another day.Editing
Basic edit of sharpness, clarity, and saturation.In my camera bag
I usually carry my D800 and backup D300. Lenses, 85 prime, 12-24W, 300-500. Shutter remote and tripod.Feedback
Patience and don't be discouraged if what you had envisioned doesn't pan out. Look around, there is always something worthwhile to capture.
