Behind The Lens

Location

I took this image at the Ravens Roost Overlook along the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia.

Time

I took it at sunset.

Lighting

I wanted to position the sun to the right of the tree to help balance the photo.

Equipment

I used a Nikon 7100 with a Nikon 18-55mm. I also used my on my Manfroto 190PROCX4 Tripod.

Inspiration

I always like pictures with a single tree but there are had to find. When I saw the tree and it was on the edge of a cliff in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a west facing view, I know I needed to photograph it at sunset.

Editing

Yes, I used Lightroom CC for basic color correction.

In my camera bag

Nikon D800, Nikon 7100, Nikon 70-200mm F/2.8, Nikon 16-35mm F/4, Sigma 35mm F/1.4, Nikon SB-910, Manfroto 190PROCX4 Tripod, Nikon MC-36A, Lee Big Stopper, B+W CP Filter Pocketwizards Plus III (x2).

Feedback

Make sure you stay up to catch the best light at sunset. Use a tripod and a cable release (or your cameras self timer to make sure there is no camera shake. Go to www.blueridgeimagery.com to check out more of my work.
