Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken in Denali National Park, Alaska.

Time

Afternoon after a long hike, riding the train looked so good, but we still had a ways to walk!

Lighting

Natural lighting. Of course in Alaska, mid summer you can have up to 22 hours of sun daily!

Equipment

Nikon D5100

Inspiration

The train just looked so inviting, we had been camping/hiking/traveling for two months at this point and having someone else do the driving looked good!

Editing

No post processing other than minor cropping.

In my camera bag

Nikon D5100 and a compact Canon SX 710HS which I carry often when weight is an issue. I also have a couple of lenses and a few filters. Weight is kept at a minimum!

Feedback

Go to Alaska!
