Behind The Lens

Location

Las Vegas, Nevada Valley of Fire state park

Time

4:00pm

Lighting

The sun was behind me covered by clouds creating a nice defused light keeping the harsh shadows away.

Equipment

Canon 6d no tripod or flash with a canon 24-70 f2.8ii

Inspiration

The leading lines of the road going directly through the middle caught my attention immediately inspiring me to take a deeper look.

Editing

I shot this with an ND filter already on the lens and my colors are boosted to my taste so the colors came out vibrant even on the raw file. I sharpened locally, and added a little clarity then closed off the edges with an ND filter in post.

In my camera bag

Canon 6d, canon 24-70 2.8ii and canon 70-200 f2.8 II stay with me at all times.

Feedback

Be patience, wait for the right light you want and Watchout for cars coming down the road as this was shot with me standing directly in the road.
