This was about sunset. Around 6:45pm.Lighting
Wait for it! The light to me, is almost 75% of a photograph. One amazing shot is sometimes better than 100 good shots. I'm not saying don't shoot a ton, because you should! Just be patient and wait for the light to reflect!Equipment
I use a Canon 6D and usually my wide angle 17-40mm. I almost always use a tripod! Especially around sunrise or sunset when the foreground has a bunch of shadows!Inspiration
Horseshoe Bend (in picture) is so deep, its hard to get a perspective out of it, and understand how big it really is! With getting some well lit foreground, I felt that is drew the eye into the right area to see how deep this canyon really is!Editing
I downed the blacks, and made a decent vignette to please the eye.In my camera bag
I always have my Canon 6D and tripod with me. I usually carry my wide angle, and my telephoto. Thats my 17-40mm and my 70-200mm. I also use a physical 4x6 grad filter, to help the skies not be so bright! Extra memory cards, incase I get trigger happy. I also carry my Rok 14mm in case I wan't to capture the milkyway.Feedback
Get up high! Climb mountains, hills, and roads to get a perspective. And of course like I said before - wait for the light! I've waited more than 8 hours for a sunset in a particular spot. Sunrise, and sunset has the best light that is usually not as harsh as you're mid-day light. That is of course if there aren't clouds. Sometimes mid-day is awesome! Its rare though. - photography is a waiting game to me!
