Behind The Lens

Location

In Arches National Park, in eastern Utah.

Time

Morning.

Lighting

Nice lighting here. The clouds really helped soften the light, so it's not too harsh, and yet there's enough light to bring out the colors.

Equipment

Pentax K-5, Pentax DA 10-17 fisheye, Feisol tripod

Inspiration

I wanted to get the best shot I could manage of The Organ, another famous landmark often photographed.

Editing

Darkened the sky just a bit. Hand cleaned fringing around Organ formation.

In my camera bag

Pentax K-5iis, Pentax DA 15 f4 Limited, standard zoom lens, other lenses as needed

Feedback

Try an odd focal length (i.e., rather than the focal length most used to photograph specific location) to get a slightly different perspective. If the shot is usually taken a wide angle shot, try a telephoto or a fisheye lens instead.
