Behind The Lens

Location

Zion NP, Utah.

Time

About 1 hour after sunset.

Lighting

We were light painting the pyramid rock but the red glow in the photo was actually from a passing car! At the time we were bothered by all the car lights passing by but I suppose it worked out ok ;)

Equipment

Nikon D800 14-24mm Tripod

Inspiration

The bonzai tree motif will forever be a classic! It just represents strength & perseverance so well.

Editing

Enhancement of the background (Milky way) so its more visible. Increased saturation & sharpness of the foreground.

In my camera bag

D800 14-24mm 24-70mm 70-200mm ND filters Polarizer Remote control Snacks!

Feedback

As always, be prepared. Know exactly what u want to shoot beforehand. Pre-visualization is paramount, so either arrive way earlier or scout on a prior date. Check the location of the milky way prior to shooting.
