Behind The Lens

Location

This shot is on Monument Valley, AZ

Time

This was later in the day. I found it interesting that this single dead tree was now a center piece along the dirt road leading through Monument Valley. I thought, what a metaphor! All alone and yet still standing to let the world know that there is a history here.

Lighting

Just normal spring time daylight.

Equipment

Canon EOS T2i with a 50 mm lens if I remember correctly. Of course I would need to go back and verify with the meta data.

Inspiration

This was just such a neat composition of nature, or should I say the harshness of nature.

Editing

Not really. It pretty much is presented as shot. No cropping either. Handheld shot.

In my camera bag

Lots, too much to mention. Many varieties of lenses, filters (which I rarely use), extra batteries, intervalometers that I use for time lapse video and of course, lots of cleaning cloths.

Feedback

Yes! Keep you eye out for fun and metaphoric METAPHORIC compositions. And just shoot! There is no excuse in today's world to not activate a shutter.
