Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on our way to see some family over the holiday break, just shortly after I had received the camera as a Christmas gift from my husband. We took the scenic route and our time so that I could practice with it. Something I continue doing to this day.

Time

I just remember how cold it was, but I really wanted to get out and get some practice and hoped for some really nice shots. It was January 2nd and we were about half way to our destination at this point about 2pm in the afternoon. I pulled off to the outlook and went down a little path, to get the angle of the bridge that I wanted, just me, my camera, my cold feet and gloves.

Lighting

There was not much light, it was mid-afternoon but cloud cover. I actually liked that to bring out the impact of the bridge and cold.

Equipment

This was shot with my Nikon D7000 and the VR 55-300mm F/4.5-5.6 that came with my bundle. No other equipment was used.

Inspiration

I really like strange angles and just capturing beauty in what surrounds me. This bridge is just that. It's the Perrine Bridge at Twin Falls, Idaho that is approximately 1500 feel long. To the east of the bridge is where Evel Knievel unsuccessfully attempted to jump the canyon, but he did survive. It is a popular site to base jump as well for many of the locals. I received some stories from people that it brought back memories from shortly after posting this picture.

Editing

The only post-processing was a little straightening and making it black and white.

In my camera bag

Being fairly new at photography, I carry just my backpack, my Nikon D7000. My 55-300mm which I do much of my nature photography with so I can capture birds in flight and get close without being able to be close. I also always have my trusty kit lens, the 18-140mm. I do carry along my tripod and monopod, but rarely use them.

Feedback

My advice for others is to get out and enjoy nature. There are so many things out there, such beauty that surrounds us and it's great to be able to capture that and share it. Get out often, but plan ahead. Make sure you have all your gear, that you have a place in mind, spend time and be patient, especially if you plan to shoot nature and animals. You might be surprised at what fun things you can capture on a whim.
