Location

Yellow Mountain, China

Time

Me and my friends were looking for a spot to see the "must-see" sunset at Yellow Mountain. And finally we found this place with no one else around. We sat to eat something and wait for the sunset time. But it was before it that I found the best light for that peaceful place.

Lighting

Just me and the sun. Not even a filter. The idea is to show the beauty of that landscape and the beautiful sunsets that we can have every day.

Equipment

I only used a Canon 7 D with a Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6. No filter.

Inspiration

Editing

I put a little of contrast and clarity because I love to use a little in my photos. Then a little bit of vibrance and a hotter temperature. For better details, I gave some shadows for a more mistic picture. All possible because I photographed in RAW.

In my camera bag

When I travel, I always bring a small tripod, my Canon 7D, the Canon 50mm f/1.8 (which I found very very useful for travel photography and portraits), my Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 with a polarized filter and my Canon 100mm L f/2.8 for some macro and/or details.

Feedback

You have to climb and trek for a lot of hours just to find the perfect place to shoot. For a good photo that is the main requirement: you have to search for the perfect place and light otherwise it's not the fact that you have a good camera that will make good photos. Be prepared for the best hours of the day and have your eyes open for the details and beauty. That's the essential for a good lansdcape photo.
