Nope! I had a tiny kicker light right behind her to pop up her shadows and was shooting with an nd filter to gt the sunrise without blowing it out. It turned out amazing!

simply mesmerizing.
I'm not sure what is more beautiful - the lady or the scenery.

Behind The Lens

Location

on a Cliff overlooking Snooper's Rock in Tennessee.

Time

At the crack of Dawn. Best time to take pictures at this location, because you get the fog off the Tennessee River and the Sun coming up from behind the mountain

Lighting

All natural lighting.

Equipment

Nikon D750, 85mm 1.4, no tripod for this one, but for the other pictures that I took with a 35, I had an nd filter on and on tripod with a really slow shutter speed to be able to catch the details in the mountain. This one was almost like an off handed snap shot at the end of the set!

Inspiration

I was looking for a breath taking mountain scene and a friend of mine took me to this one, which is an awesome 3 minute hike from where you park your car, so we didn't have to get up at 3 am to hike out to a vista.

Editing

Not too much post processing, actually. It was gorgeous, I did lighten up the model and do some regular levels checking. But, it was gorgeous to begin with!

In my camera bag

I always have my tripod in my car. You never know when you'll see something stunning that you'll need it for. And I always keep my camera with me. I always have my nifty fifty along with my d750

Feedback

When shooting sunrise, get there early and be patient. Always have a tripod, and a few filters are always good if you're shooting water or into bright sun.
