Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in North Lake Tahoe located in Northern California. This is specifically one of the railway entrances along The Donner Pass that was once used by the Central Pacific Railroad.Time
This was snapped around 3-4pmLighting
So much light! It was my first time shooting in the snow with sun out as it was, and was a little worried I would get no usable images.Equipment
I used my Canon 5D mark III with a Canon 24-70 lensInspiration
The icicle teeth, the ominous appearance, mother natures wonderiousness, and the history of Donner Pass.Editing
Yes, I had to work this image a bit. In Lightroom I played with the contrast and clarity, along with making some tweaks in the highlights and blacks to get it where I liked it.In my camera bag
I am regularly urban exploring so I always have a flashlight and head lamp. My Canon 5D mark 3 and manfroto colapseable tripod. Gloves for less savory locations and lens cleaning items.Feedback
Expose for the shadows, and always be thinking about the composition.
