Behind The Lens

Location

Westhampton, NY

Time

Shortly after sunrise.

Lighting

We walked around for a bit until the shadows were just the right length for the image I wanted.

Equipment

DJI Mavic 2 Pro.

Inspiration

I remember seeing an image of camels shadows in the desert and I wanted to do something similar with my buddy, Gibson.

Editing

Minor color adjustments in LR.

In my camera bag

Either my Nikon D610 and multiple lenses or my drone depending on what I'm trying to capture.

Feedback

Be early. Make sure you have enough battery to take multiple shots as the sun rises and shadow length shortens.
