Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in a slot canyon in Bryce Canyon National Park, in Utah.Time
The time of day was just after sunrise.Lighting
Since the walls of the slot canyon are steep, there is not a lot of light at the bottom as you traverse it. Couple with looking toward the sky, lighting was difficult at best. It took some editing skills to have the tree look like a tree and not wash things out.Equipment
Given the location, the only camera on hand was an iPhone. This photo was taken in natural light with the back camera on an iPhone.Inspiration
I had already seen the most miraculous sunrise over Bryce Canyon Hoodoos, so was time to explore the slot canyons. We came upon this tree that seemingly should not be growing, let alone to the heights it reaches. I wanted to capture that sense of wonder and also give some perspective to how narrow these slot canyons are.Editing
Yes, there was post-processing. It was completely shaded at the bottom of this narrow slot canyon, so all photos taken were very shaded. And once I looked up, given the glare and lack of controls on the phone to compensate, I had to use a tool to lighten the capture. I used PhotoShop Elements to help give some light and shape to the tree and not lose the sky.In my camera bag
I normally always have my Sony RX100 with me everywhere I go, well, except here. I also use a Nikon 7100 with several lenses for formal shoots.Feedback
This is where an axiom comes in: the best camera you have for capturing images is the one you have on you. In this case, it was an iPhone. Use whatever tools you have on hand to the best of your ability!
