Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Piers Gorge on the Menominee River that cuts between Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

Time

This was taken between 11am and noon.

Lighting

This was an overcast day with a few medium dark clouds going through, but then it lightened up a bit and bounced off of the clouds lighting the gorge up more for this shot...

Equipment

Nikon D5100, with a 55-200mm Nikkor lens

Inspiration

For the past several years I've been doing white water rafting photos of Thornton's Rafting Resort. this was a different company from the same area and when I saw this guy riding on the front of the raft I just knew I had to get some shots. Not many people "Bull" ride the raft like this while going through the rapids of the Gorge, this guy was brave enough to do it and was my lucky day to get this shot

Editing

Just some basic contrast and sharpening.

In my camera bag

Nikon D5100, 55-200mm lens, 18-55mm lens, Nd filter, circular polorizer, remote cord and extra battery.

Feedback

Just make sure you use manual settings where you can set different shutter speeds as well as aperture..
