Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at Redwood National Park, CA

Time

The photo was taken in the early morning around 7am.

Lighting

The lighting was brought by the natural sunlight.

Equipment

The only equipment used is my camera, a Canon 40D, and my Tokina Lens 10-16mm.

Inspiration

The vibrant colors of the mountains versus the sky just looked amazing to me. Nature at its finest.

Editing

Yes, I enhanced the contrast, brightness, shaprness and saturation to bring out more of the colors.

In my camera bag

I usually just have my camera and lens and spare memory cards.

Feedback

Patients and a little luck is key. You just have to wait for the right moment and it will come to you.
