Behind The Lens

Location

Near Ouray, CO

Time

Sunset and after dark..

Lighting

Lighting was natural light only.

Equipment

Camera: Nikon D810, Lens: Sigma 24-70 f2.8 Tripod: Induro with RRS BH-55 head

Inspiration

I had wanted to shoot this peak for quite awhile and I finally got up there to do so. I wanted to try a blend of sunset and Milky Way and accomplished it.

Editing

Yes this is a blended image. The foreground/sunset was shot at 24mm and the MW was shot at 70mm. The two shots were blended together in PS for the dramatic “sunset and Milky Way” look

In my camera bag

The above plus a Nikon z-6, Tamron 15-30mm, too many lenses typically (lol), lots of batteries, water, etc. I also carry a raincoat/cover for the camera and lens typically

Feedback

Just stay persistent, plan your shot (using PhotoPills or similar), and if nobody wants to go out with you be bold enough to go out alone. It can be a little scary at night but it’s worth every minute! Hi early, scout your shots, get set up and wait for the magic! Patience is KEY
