Behind The Lens

Location

Death Valley National Park

Time

around 3-4 pm

Lighting

Sun was heading towards horizon and there were a few clouds. Waited for the clouds to cover the sun partly and got good diffused light

Equipment

Nikon D70, 28-200 mm Nikkor lens. Handheld no flash

Inspiration

The majestic vista and the so very dry land of death valley.

Editing

Cropping only

In my camera bag

Nikon D300 with a few lenses and a Nikon D70 with 28-200 mm lens for getting the shot fast. Flash and Tripod are in the bag as well...

Feedback

It always tempting to try to capture a scene from the first place you see it but in my experience one should try to see it from a few different perspectives and try a few different camera angles. A wide lens is always handy for landscape shots.
