Light to die for....especially in the middle to upper layer of the image. I don't know what is on the surface of the water (lower right) but it's just slightly distracting to the overall comp IMHI.....nonetheless, quite superb!!
Well done & congrats....Brian

Behind The Lens

Location

Autumn photograph of Oxbow Bend in Teton National Park, taken in 2004.

Time

This photograph was taken within an our of sunrise, at about 6:00AM, as the early morning sunlight reached the trees. A good place to see early morning wildlife activity.

Lighting

This is a wonderful location for sunrise photography. The lighting is, more often than not, beautiful at this time of day.

Equipment

Canon EOS Digital Rebel at 70.0mm - f7.1. The camera was mounted on a tripod.

Inspiration

The beauty of the Tetons

Editing

No

In my camera bag

These days, a Canon 5D mark III and / or Canon 7D Mark II, with a variety of lenses ranging from wide angle to telephoto, flash unit and remote control. Almost always carry a tripod.

Feedback

Pick a time of day when the lighting is dramatic, Use a tripod. I set camera settings to manual and adjust for the type of shot being taken (wildlife action, landscape, dawn or dusk light etc.)
