Behind The Lens

Location

this photo was taken in whitefish montana in my back yard

Time

It was taken at sunrise.

Lighting

It was just an amazing sunrise on a very foggy morning

Equipment

This was taken with a nokia lumia 1020. No tripod and no flash

Inspiration

I woke up after a horrible night sleep, you know the kind where you finally fall asleep around 4 am. So I wake up and look out the window to see this scene. Still half asleep I put my flip flops on and ran out to get a picture. Only problem was that I forgot I have to go down 3 steps. so I did a marvelous face plant in the snow in order to capture this.

Editing

The only thing I did was to convert it from the raw dng format to JPG

In my camera bag

Canon 40d camera, wide angle lens rokinon 14mm, 50mm, 18-55 and 35 mm

Feedback

Really the biggest thing is to be ready because you never know when you're going to seee a shot like this!
