Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at the Grand Tetons on Coulter Bay. I walked around at 5 am to get some photos with nice reflections. Unfortunately some boats started moving around then as well.The mountains are so beautiful that no photograph really does them justice.

Time

Between 5 and 6 am.

Lighting

Just natural sunlight

Equipment

Shot with a Nikon D800 with a 16-80mm lens.

Inspiration

The lighting on the mountains inspired me to take this photograph.

Editing

I darkened the photo slightly to get deeper colors.

In my camera bag

I carried an 80-400mm, 70-300mm and 16-80mm lenses with my D800. I also had a D300 for backup. I carried 3 camera batteries and about 5 memory cards. I also brought a polarizing, ND2 and ND4 filter.

Feedback

Get up early and stay out late for the best opportunities to capture nature.
