Behind The Lens

Location

This scene was recorded in SouthEast Ohio just west of Athens.

Time

Just before dawn at 6:00am.

Lighting

Pre dawn lightning.

Equipment

I used a Canon 70D, 17 - 55 mm f/2.8 Canon Lens(set to 55mm), and a Mefoto tripod.

Inspiration

What I like most about this photograph is the morning light.

Editing

I only slightly turned up the saturation and added a small amount of vignetting.

In my camera bag

In addition the the Canon 70D and the 17-55mm f/2.8 lens I also carry a Canon 100-400mm f/4.5. I use a Canon 420 EX SpeedLight. Tiffen filters include; polarized, Neutral Density, and SkyLight. Finally, a Canon Extender 2x and extension tubes for macro work.

Feedback

The exposure info: ISO 800, Aperture f/11, Shutter Speed 3.2 seconds. Keeping your equipment ready to go. I only had two minutes to catch the balance of light and dark. You also have to be well practiced with your camera in order to make the correct exposure and capture the image before the light gives out.
