Behind The Lens

Location

Corrizo Plains National Monument

Time

About 2 hours before sunset

Lighting

I was facing west towards the sun and shooting north

Equipment

Sony A7rii Tripod 24-70mm lens

Inspiration

I was waiting for sunset so I could get an epic landscape shot. I was sitting along a path surrounded by these gorgeous flowers and just couldn't resist.

Editing

I used lightroom and my own personal editing.

In my camera bag

I am a Sony girl through and through.

Feedback

Tripod is 100% necessary. You have to have it. If you don't it is going to be extremely difficult to get a self portrait. As far as time of year, you really need to pay attention to what people are talking about when it comes to wild flowers. They are here one day and gone the next, so you really have to have your ear to the ground and be ready for a spontaneous adventure.
