Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in the Dolomites, Italy. The Dolomites are amazingly rough and beautiful.Time
This shot was made around midday on a very, very cloudy day. The Dolomites were not yet ready for snowfall, but yet it came. The dark feel of the weather was perfect.Lighting
Natural lighting. Would be hard to lighten a whole mountain.Equipment
Shot on a Sony A7II, 24-70, nothing more nothing less.Inspiration
The mood was right, the weather was right, the angle was right, the time was right... there was no reason at all NOT to take this photo.Editing
Simple black and white conversion with only tiny bits of dodge and burn. Everything else was already there.In my camera bag
A camera and a lens. And if it's only a daytrip: a tripod and filters. If the hike is multiple days and long distance: I carry as little as possible.Feedback
Go to the Dolomites during the change of seasons. To much snow and you're doomed, to little and there is no magic in the scene. Pray for accessibility and good weather (and follow that up on weather apps etc).
