Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in West Point, Virginia looking into King and Queen County, Virginia.Time
This photo was taken at sunrise.Lighting
I purposefully went out early in order to see the sun's first light of that day.Equipment
This photograph was shot with my Canon Rebel T3i and their kit lens. I'm thinking I may have had the camera on a tripod that morning.Inspiration
First of all, I'm not a morning person. There were sad things going on in my life at the time. I got up early to watch the sunrise in order to create my own happiness. God did not disappoint!Editing
It was very minimal pist-processing because Lightroom was new to me.In my camera bag
I'm now carrying two cameraa. One with a longer lens in case I see a smaller animal. In my Pelican case, I carry my second camera with a lens that will be better for landscapes.Feedback
Get up and set up before sunrise!
