Location
This photo was taken at "The Wave" in Northern ArizonaTime
This photo was taken in the afternoon. This isn't typically the best time of day for landscape shots, but the tall, narrow passages only see light during the midday sun.Lighting
The overhead sun tends to accentuate the ridges in the rock.Equipment
I used a Nikon D7000 with a 10mm wide angle sigma lens. The camera was also on a tripod to capture bracketed frames.Inspiration
The weathered sandstone rock is just beautiful out there. It almost looks like billowing fabric frozen in motion.Editing
I did utilize high dynamic range processing to maintain detail in the brightly lit rock as well as the rock in the shadows.In my camera bag
I probably have too much equipment in my bag - I tend to bring everything.Feedback
Be there for the midday sun, and bring lots of water - It gets hot in the desert.
