Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken in Saratoga at the Oklahoma practice track

Time

It was daybreak 6:18am during the morning workouts for the riders and horses

Lighting

The lighting is as shot. The sun was rising above the tree in front of me, slightly to the right. The morning fog served as a soft background for the silhouette.

Equipment

I used a Sony NEX-6 with E55-210,5-6.3 lens on a tripod. ISO100, 205 focal length, 1/100sec@f/8, continuos shooting

Inspiration

I've camped in the area several times and visited the main track in the mornings to reserve a spot at the track. I always loved the way misty mornings looked. I was also intrigued by early morning activity all around the track.

Editing

Shot in raw, exported to jpg in Lightroom, that's it!

In my camera bag

I've since upgraded and now carry a Sony A7II body, and Ziess lenses: - FE 70-300/5.6 - FE 55/1.8 - FE 16-35/4 MEFOTO Roadtrip travel tripod

Feedback

Go early find the light be patient and enjoy the high!
