Location
This photo was taken at Rowena Crest in Mosier, Oregon.Time
We were up early, at 2 AM to photograph the Milky Way and stayed for sunrise. This was taken right before sunrise.Lighting
I loved the contrast of the vibrant green vegetation with the soft sky lighting.Equipment
This was shot on a NIKON D5500, at ISO100, 1/15 sec, F8, Focal Length 10.0 mm, with a 10.0-20.0 mm f/3.5, Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM lens. I also used a tripod to stabilize my shot.Inspiration
We were out shooting pictures of the Milky Way and decided to wait for sunrise. I loved the soft colors of the sky and the contrast of the vibrant green vegetation.Editing
Yes, I used Lightroom to to enhance clarity, and to improve highlights and shadows.In my camera bag
A Nikon D5500, Sigma 10-20mm, Nikon 70 - 300, Nikon 18-140, Mephoto tripod or monopod. UV and circular polarizer filters. Extra battery and travel charger, lens cleaning kit and an extra memory card.Feedback
Many people shoot Rowena Crest from directly above for the horse shoe shape, I went for a prolonged S curve that made this shot more unique.
