Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the Arizona desert of a wild Salt River colt. There are several bands of the wild horses that we get the privilege of watching.

Time

This photo was taken just before full golden hour.

Lighting

Lighting is everything. Be patient and wait for that perfect time. Golden hour is my personal favorite. I think it brings everything to life.

Equipment

I used a Canon 6D with a Canon RF 24-70mm F2.8L IS USM.

Inspiration

I love watching the wild horses interact with each other. The lighting was perfect to catch the colts colors especially the mane.

Editing

I only lightened the exposure in light room.

In my camera bag

Canon 6D, Canon telephoto 70-200mm, 24-70mm, extra batteries, headlamp, ND filters, trigger and tripod. While traveling through the desert it is important to travel light to save room for plenty of water.

Feedback

Take your time and let the subject become familiar with you.
