Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken from an overlook along Route 6 in the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania where the Susquehanna River swings past the town of Wysox.

Time

My favorite time, my plan in shooting landscapes is to begin about two hours before sunset, in this case about 4 p.m. Once I have found the location and tested various compositions and exposures, I settle in and stay with the shoot until sunset and sometimes later.

Lighting

The color of natural light changes as the sun moves across the sky, as well as with overcast and on cloudy days. I prefer a warmer, softer light for landscapes, but will travel to locations (not too far away) at various times of day, and in different weather conditions, to see how the light plays with the scenery.

Equipment

For this shoot I used my Nikon D200 with a zoom set 105mm and f8 (bracketed). I have two tripods, one heavy, one light for shooting low perspectives, and a monopod for flexibility. Since I was familiar with the location, I took the heavier tripod with cable release.

Inspiration

On this day the weather was quite beautiful, a warmer autumn day than expected. I had time on my hands, which means only one thing: camera, create, and capture. I had been up Route 6 numerous times over the years, and considered this location special, though I'd had never been there in autumn. Everything in life is timing.

Editing

I cropped to 16:9, which I tend towards in my scapes. My philosophy is that whatever comes out of the camera can be improved by "tweaking": call it "creative license". I used a bit of softening of the detail along the bottom of the composition to move the viewer's eyes further up into the composition.

In my camera bag

Though not always in "bag", I have three Nikon bodies, and four lenses, usually carrying two with me, so I don't have to change lenses in the great outdoors. On commercial shoots, of course everything must go. I have a number of filters, virtually never used, except for my variable ND...and a Nikon Strobe. My strategy: when shooting outdoors, seriously plan ahead and keep it simple.

Feedback

My strategy: when shooting scapes, seriously plan ahead and keep it simple. Scout locations ahead of time, taking into consideration the changing light. Remember that you are never shooting a subject, but the light reflected off the subject. It can change the way you think and capture.
