Location
This photo was taken in the rural mountainous region of Fukuishima, Japan.Time
I had planed out this image ahead of time. I decided I wanted to take an early morning photo of this area right when the train was passing by.Lighting
I needed this photo to be taken with overcast weather so that the suns rays wouldn't harshly effect the white snow. With the cloud cover, I was able to get an even brightness to my photo.Equipment
I used a DJI Mavic drone to create this shot. I had seen images of this area but they were all take from the same viewpoint. With the ease of my drone I was able to capture this place at a different angle.Inspiration
I wanted to show that world how beautiful Fukushima is and how it's not just that place that had the huge earthquake.Editing
Yes this image is a vertical panorama. I stitched 3 images together to get this and other small post processing to make it pop.In my camera bag
I usually carry my drone, my Sony a7r for landscape and my Nikon D500 with either the 70- 200 f/2.8 for landscape or my 200-500 for wildlife.Feedback
Do your research ahead of time. I only own 3 drone batteries, so this only allowed me around 50 min max to get the shot. I looked at the trains timetable and guesstimated between the 2 nearest station what time the train would be arriving on the bridge. I used my first battery to find the best location for the shot and then used the next one to wait and shoot the location once the train arrived.
