Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon.

Time

The sunset was occurring and the timing was about 6 pm.

Lighting

The lighting was natural as the sunset occurred. The colors popped with the sun rays slowly going down giving the contrast of the light and rocks.

Equipment

I used a SONY A6000 camera and a 70-200 mm SONY lens. Nothing more.

Inspiration

During the national parks trip I took with my mother, we visited the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We stayed in the cabins and being a lover of sunsets, I wanted to capture the canyon and the sunset lighting. I noticed the varied colors and depth that the lighting gave that afternoon giving the image a sense of grandeur.

Editing

No processing was done.

In my camera bag

I now have the SONY A7IIIR, the 100-400mm SONY lens, and the 100-600mm SONY lens.

Feedback

I would always suggest thinking about the emotions or story a photographer wants to convey in the image.
