Behind The Lens

Location

Horseshoe Bend, Page, Arizona

Time

Brisk pre-sunrise hike in the dark around 5:00am. Stuck around for a few hours.

Lighting

I think sunset would be a better time than sunrise, but it was still beautiful

Equipment

Nikon D7000 with a Tonika 11-20 F2.8

Inspiration

This place is what inspired me to take this photo. Absolutely beautiful location!

Editing

A little bit of post processing to bring out the shadows, a bit of contrast and sharpening.

In my camera bag

Usually carrying around my D7000 and my Nikkor 18-105

Feedback

For sunrise, come early to get a good spot. The place filled up pretty quick. You'll be hiking in the dark, so bring a good flashlight or headlamp. There's a little area in the middle that juts out over the ledge a bit. That's the best spot. Oh, and watch your step!
