Location
Enchanted Rock State Park, just outside of Fredricksburg, Texas.Time
Just after sunset.Lighting
At first it looked like the clouds would cover up the sunset but we waited until about ten minutes after sunset and it clears up, becoming a beautiful orange sky.Equipment
I used the Nikon d5500 with the Nikkor 12-24mm f/4 lens mounted on an entry-level manfrotto tripod.Inspiration
I saw on the weather that it could turn out to be a great sunset and Enchanted Rock is a fantastic park that has amazing rock formations.Editing
Due to the high dynamic range, I had to raise the shadows in the foreground a lot.In my camera bag
Normally I have a Nikon d5500 with a 12-24 f/4 lens, an 18-70 f/3.5-4.5 lens, and an 80-400 f/4-5.6 for wildlifeFeedback
Always take the shot wider than you think. You can always crop later if you need.
