in my opinion, the most beautiful spot in the tristate area. But its funny when i look at this photo and think about where I was in life. It was early morning i had been up for the past 36 hours tweaking on a prescription drug adderall. Unaware of my addiction i spent many mornings driving around and close to two years paranoid hearing people talk about me not showering or brushing my teeth. The images i would create though are some of my greatest work. And for a while i thought I needed the drug to create great images. I ended up being cut off from the drug and landed in a clinic where i went through withdraw and realize what was going on. Now i continue to take photos though i havent had the best opportunities to take nature photos I make the best of it doing portrait work and my visions just keep getting greater and greater from what i expect from myself and i dont need a drug to achieve it .

Behind The Lens

Location

There's a set of water falls in PA , you have to hop the fence to get down to the bottom but it's called Raymondskills

Time

I woke up restless one morning and left early for work, noticed the fog and knew exactly where to go

Lighting

lighting was all natural

Equipment

It was my sister Nikon d5000 with the kit Lens, I've since upgraded 3 cameras I'm now on the Sony a7rII.

Inspiration

This place is just so beautiful you can see more on my Instagram @dannyrayinstagram

Editing

I desaturated it a bit I don't remember much my photos on here need updated

In my camera bag

I carry a Langly camera bag a sigma 105mm 2.8 and a 35mm art 1.4 as well as a jupitor 9 m42 mount and a zies 24-70 f4 I carry a Sony a7rII a wooden yoyo from yebs fireworks battery packs pepper spray if I'm going somewhere sketchy. I carry atleast 50lbs on my back

Feedback

Get a remote shutter , you won't have to run on the slippery rocks
