Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during our 6000miles road trip through New Mexico, Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California. In the beginning I was a bit disappointed that the weather was not good but than I realized that I'll get much more dramatic shots with more expression and soul.

Time

We were really tired after a long drive and finally very close to sunset we've reached Monument Valley and a thunderstorm was soon to come. So I've grabbed my camera and made as many shots as possible before it started to pour down cats and dogs.

Lighting

I was so excited about the dramatic sky because it fits so perfect to the scenic and dramatic landscape in monument valley.

Equipment

I use my Canon EOS 550 D

Inspiration

It was always a dream for me to visit Monument Valley and the dream came true. I was so impressed from the landscape that I didn't need any further inspiration, nature was inspiring me enough

Editing

I process usually my landscape pics in LR and in PS they get the final cut.

In my camera bag

Usually I have my Canon EOS, a 50mm lens, a 24-70mm and a 100-400 together with a Manfrotto tripod and some filters in my bag.

Feedback

Monument Valley offers so many scenic sights and dramatic rocks, no matter what kin of weather you'll find there... you always can capture breathtaking landscape pictures.
