Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken between the town of Granby and Hot Sulphur Springs, Colorado.Time
Mid-afternoon.Lighting
The mid-afternoon sun in winter provided long shadows that seemed to dance all across the scene. It was very eye catching.Equipment
I used a Sony A7RII with a Sony 24-240mm lens and a tripod.Inspiration
I had driven past this location many times and always thought it had potential. The heavy snow and winter lighting really sold me.Editing
Yes, a bit of cropping, fine focus adjustments, and conversion to B&W. Then it was just a bit of tweaking the highlights, shadows and contrast.In my camera bag
I try to travel light given the terrain I usually travel in. My camera, extra batteries, long lens, wide angle lens, an a tripod.Feedback
Just because it is cold and snowy doesn't mean you can't get out and find great shots. Dress appropriately and be safe.
