Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Telluride, Colorado while ascending one of my favorite lifts. I am a self taught photographer and I love nature photography. You can see the moon in the top left corner.

Time

This is one of my favorite images I have taken. It was early afternoon and the sun was on the other side of the mountain still. It was a clear day, as you can see there is not one cloud in the sky.

Lighting

This image had a natural gradient of light in the sky and I love the contrasting lighting of the trees.

Equipment

This was shot with a GoPro Hero3+ Silver.

Inspiration

I love the snow and wanted to share that in my photography, specifically capturing the beauty of the snow-covered pines poking out of the mountain.

Editing

Originally, I had this image in color, however, I loved how the trees looked in black & white. The texture of the slope below also comes out dramatically and shows off the steep carved moguls.

In my camera bag

An extra battery. A lot of my photography is shot with a GoPro due to my active lifestyle.

Feedback

Have fun shooting. You can run into snow, sun, wind, even rain when shooting outdoors in the winter. Be prepared for any atmosphere, lighting and weather!
