Behind The Lens

Location

Dawn over Lundy Lake in the Eastern Sierras of California

Time

Dawn... in October... so had to be up very early to drive to lake and get set up

Lighting

Just natural sunrise in the Eastern Sierras in the fall

Equipment

Nikon D800

Inspiration

I'm a sucker for sunrise and sunset. this was a trip with a wonderful photographer friend and we were out doing landscapes and sunrises and sunsets and nature.

Editing

not much. a little contrast and brightening of the shadows...but let Mother Nature do the real work

In my camera bag

Nikon bodies....now D850 and assorted lenses depending on subject and project at hand

Feedback

patience, patience, patience...and get to location early to compose and get a feel for the scene...things change as the light changes...either coming up or going down, and lighting can change rapidly in these situations.
