Behind The Lens

Location

In a bluebonnet field just outside Ennis, Texas

Time

Sun was setting, about 7:30pm

Lighting

Sun was peaking just over sunset, directly into my lens. The fields in front of me caught a special flare of light between the clouds.

Equipment

Nikon D7200, with Tokina 11-16 lens handheld.

Inspiration

annual blooming of Texas state flower, the Bluebonnet

Editing

yes, a little cropping and Lightroom to bring up detail in shadows

In my camera bag

nikon D7200, Tokina lens 11-16mm f2.8, Nikon 35mm prime, Nikon 70-300mm, Tamron 17-50mm f2.8, Nikon Speedlite SB-700, various polarizing filters

Feedback

get a spot early and keep shooting, even when you think sun is set and it's over.... you still have 45-60 minutes of usable light
