Great shot! I'll be motorcycling to Alaska in July. Hope to get great shots like yours. Are you liking your D750? Thinking of getting one for my second body. Peace.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Hatcher Pass which is a mountain pass through the southwest part of the Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska. It is named after Robert Hatcher, a prospector and miner. This cabin is on the the Gold Cord Trail which leads up from Independence Mine.

Time

This shot was taken early on an August afternoon on the way back down the trail. The storm clouds were building an gave the sky an angry look.

Lighting

The sun was shining through some of the clouds giving them a lot of definition which added to the mystery of the run down cabin.

Equipment

Shot with a Nikon D750 with the Nikon 24-300 lens at 24mm. The ISO was 400, f/20 at 1/200 sec. hand held. Mode was Aperture Priority.

Inspiration

We were doing the Gold Cord Lake Trail a trail I had wanted to do for several years. We passed the cabin on the way up and I did take several photo's but on the way back down the clouds were really starting to build and the sun was shining through in some places making them add lots of texture to the sky.

Editing

There was some post processing done in light room with high lights and shadows, lens correction. It was then taken into Topaz Clarity and landscape 1 was applied.

In my camera bag

If I'm going out for a day of hiking and not sure what I will be running across I love my Nikon d750 with 24-300. It covers the range of wide to telephoto and when you are in Alaska you never know will it be he sweeping landscape or a bear or moose that you will come across. I also like to carry my platypod pro and a remote cable release.

Feedback

Living in Alaska you never no what the weather will be and it can change on a dime. The best thing is to get out and go because if you wait for what could be perfect weather and conditions it may not be where you are at but 10 miles down the road or over the next pass could be the photo of a lifetime.
