Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in the Grand Teton area of Wyoming (USA) in September 2014.

Time

It was probably around 6:30 AM. I was with my parents and sister and we were exploring the area when the sun had just started to rise.

Lighting

I actually didn't have to do anything about lighting, since the sun's soft glow on the clouds was more than enough to create a gorgeous scene.

Equipment

No lens, no flash, nothing fancy. Just a basic iphone camera.

Inspiration

The natural settings in that entire area were constantly inspiring. You can spend all day snapping great photos because there is inspiration everywhere!

Editing

Just a little bit of increase in light exposure on my Mac afterwards. That's it!

In my camera bag

I'm only an aspiring photographer at the moment (read: I have no fancy equipment yet), so I honestly only carry around my iphone these days, particularly as I like to travel light.

Feedback

I prefer to minimize my editing in my photos, so I try to capture natural lighting as much as possible. It also helps to wake up extra early to capture great scenery (and wildlife!).
