Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Madera Canyon near Green Valley, Arizona.

Time

Photo was taken near 6:45 PM, as the sun was setting.

Lighting

We simply made use of the natural light, adjusting the white balance to a little towards the warmer side in the camera settings.

Equipment

Camera is a Canon EOS Rebel T2i, using an EFS 18-55mm lens.

Inspiration

I had shot with Angela and friend of hers the day before in the same location. She knew she was moving back east soon, and called me he next morning as there were some shots she wanted she forgot to have done the day before. We arranged to meet at the location in the afternoon to get what she wanted done. As the sun was setting we were doing some fashion work with her standing on a ridge just above and in front of me to take advantage of the golden hour sun. She pulled out this particular blouse and we both thought it would be cool to shoot it worn loosely open in silhouette.

Editing

No

In my camera bag

Canon EOS Rebel T2i, EFS Lenses 18-55mm and 55-250mm. Also have an EF 70-300mm lens and an EF 50mm f/1.8 lens

Feedback

Keeping an eye towards the view sheds of the location you are shooting at and the opportunities the natural setting and lighting could offer as time passes is very helpful.
