Bryce National Park, Sunrise PointTime
Sunrise, this day sunrise was about 6:30 am MayLighting
It was a cool May morning, I waited for the sunrise to throw a brilliant orange glow and highlight the already magnificent hoodoo's of Bryce National Park.Equipment
I used a Manfrotto 190XB tripod, a Nikon D200 camera with a 18 - 35 mm lense, no flash, ISO 100, f/11, I took several shots and blended them together using Lightroom and Photoshop to come up with this image.Inspiration
My husband. He is the one one who incourages me to get up in the morning and take photo's with him. He decided sunrise photos would be an excellent idea. This photo is what I came up with. I usually plan our vacations around favorite places my parents took me as a child. I like to share these with my husband now. He brought photography back into my life, I had started taking photos in my teens, but the hobby got lost somewhere along the way. Photography is now a great passion we can share together.Editing
Yes, I am learning how to use Lightroom and about Layers in Photoshop. I post processed a couple of images in Lightroom, then layered them in Photoshop to bring out the best light areas in the different photos, then merging into the image you see here.In my camera bag
Of course my camera, my husband has upgraded me to the Nikon D700. I have a couple of different lenses, (a wide angle, macro, and a telephoto) my husband has handed down to me. Also a couple of filters, my husband is trying to get me into use a neutral density filter and a polarizing filter. A few basics like spare batteries, extra memory, a flashlight, a lense cleaning kit, and a pocket knife. I tend to like to travel light and keep it simple.Feedback
It is important to find your passion in photography. You have to let the "you" shine through. It is a great idea to look at other photographers work to help you learn composition and the basics, but don't redo their work. Find your own style. There is no right or wrong, shoot what you like, process it the way you like, and do what inspires you. Don't be afraid to get up early, or stay up late to get the shot you want. What it really comes down to is practice. The more you shot the more you learn. With the web these days you can find a wealth of information to help you on your journey.
