Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park, Colorado.

Time

We were driving one evening about an hour before sunset and this guy casually stepped out of the woods and on to the road about 50 Yards ahead of us.

Lighting

It was taken in the shadow of the mountain.

Equipment

Canon 6D with a 70-200 lens.

Inspiration

He was a beautiful and majestic and didn't seem to care that we were there.

Editing

I cropped a little and reduced the shadows.

In my camera bag

I travel pretty light. I this case I had a Canon 5D MarkIV with a 24-105mm lens and a Canon 6D with a 70-200mm lens. I had spare batteries and SD cards as well.

Feedback

Just be ready for an opportunity when it shows itself.
