Behind The Lens
Location
I was heading out to McKenzie Point which is on the Knik Goose Bay Rd in Wasilla Alaska. I had never been on this road and almost crashed when I saw this old fishing boat in the ice along Cook Inlet. I abandoned my original plan for the point and quickly walked out along the ice to have a look.Time
In late Feb the Sun in Alaska the Sun goes down rather quickly (about 4pm), so time was of the essence as it was coming up on 2 in the afternoonLighting
Nothing more natural then sunset lightEquipment
Canon 5D Mark III and Canon 16-35mm on Manfrotto tripod...warm hat and fingerless glovesInspiration
I believe it was the fact that it was out here so far away fro the Inlet. After I took the pics I became rather curious about the boat and later found out that she was named "Nomad" and was owed by non other than the Father of the Iditarod - Joe Redington's. He moored the craft there in 1969Editing
I bracketed this shot and processed 2 of the shots (one for sky and one for foreground) using general luminosityIn my camera bag
Canon 5D MArk III and usually both my 16-35 and 24-105 lenses, my loupe and extra batteries as well as Hoya and Lee FiltersFeedback
Don't be afraid to change your plan when you see something else. If you think you can go back and get it some other time...you can't, as the moment is lost...Get it when you see it!
