Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken along the Salt River in the Tonto National Forest southeast of Phoenix, Arizona

Time

Approximately 12PM

Lighting

The midday sun in Arizona was perfect

Equipment

Nikon D7200 w/ an 18-300mm 5.6 telephoto lens

Inspiration

I was inspired by the juxtaposition of the water, mountains and desert grasses. All these elements created a rich texture. The still water allowed the reflections to take on a surreal quality

Editing

Minimal post processing to include cropping, saturation and color adjustments

In my camera bag

I carry a Nikon D7200, an 18-300mm 5.6 lens, and a 50mm 1.8 prime lens.
