Behind The Lens

Location

I was in Missoula, Montana taking a Summer Intensive session at Rocky Mountain School of Photography in August 2013. This was the first photo I took when I finally learned to shoot with manual settings! This was taken at Kootenai Creek in near Stevensville, Montana.

Time

This photo was taken in the late afternoon. My husband and I were on a hike, and I decided to stand on some rocks in the middle of the stream to get this shot!

Lighting

The shaded trail was speckled with sunlight, so I waited for a cloud to pass to get the more muted light.

Equipment

I used Canon 7D camera with EF-S 18- 135mm lens, 1/20 sec, f16 ISO 100.

Inspiration

I love hiking, and I wanted to take this photo of one of the most beautiful spots along the trail.

Editing

I used Lightroom to adjust the exposure and noise reduction.

In my camera bag

I usually carry 3 lenses. A wide-angle, telephoto, and one prime lens.

Feedback

Be patient and wait for the right light!
