Location

This photo was taken on the south side of Mt. St. Helens. Was an extremely cold day so there were no others around.

Time

This was taken fairly early in the morning.

Lighting

Lighting was perfect due to our our arrival time.

Equipment

Nikon D300 with a 70-300mm lense. This was the first time using this camera. I knew just enough about settings but didn't think the picture would turn out the way it did. Was using a tripod at the time.

Inspiration

The photo was taken in an area with no one around. I was only a few feet from the car. Lower down the mountain the wind was howling but we found a completely protected area. Mt. St. Helens is one of my favorite mountains. I had never approached from this side before.

Editing

No, I loaded it to Lightroom but the picture, to me seemed perfect. No edit was done.

In my camera bag

My Nikon D300, 70-300mm, 16-85mm and my 50mm lens. Usually carry my tripod but really like to shoot freehand. As I wanted details I chose to use the tripod.

Feedback

I took my time trying various shots. The tree trunk in the foreground I thought gave a good scale of the mountain in the background. I really took my time! My gut usually tells me when to take a photo!
