Behind The Lens
Location
This image was taken in North Carolina on a random hiking trail I found. I am a passionate landscape photographer and I enjoyed the beautiful views in the state.Time
This image was captured in the early mornings around 6am. The crisp morning brought in a cool mist as the sun began to rise behind the rolling mountains.Lighting
The clouds and mist helped create the sun rays while the sun began to rise.Equipment
Nikon D750, Manfrotto Tripod, Tamron 15-30mm wide angleInspiration
I am a landscape photographer so I am always looking at various aspects of nature and how I can create a still frame.Editing
Post processing was done in Lightroom and photoshop adjusting the shadows and highlights with lightly modifying temperature.In my camera bag
I always carry my wide angle lens, tripod, and telephoto lens for various shots depending on the subject.Feedback
Patience and start your hikes early.
