Behind The Lens

Location

Out in the plains outside Colorado Springs

Time

Evening

Lighting

I made sure the sunlight came through the trees to diffuse the light just enough so that it didn't take away from the main subject. I adjusted my shutter and aperture settings to make a semi silhouette, but making sure some details could still be seen.

Equipment

Just my Nikon D600

Inspiration

The sunset and the only tree in the area mainly inspired me. I have a similar image in the same spot, but using my Yongnuo flash on the subject.

Editing

Very little, I just warmed the image a bit more than it was to bring out the evening time mood.

In my camera bag

Nikon D600, Nikon D7000, Tamron 70-200mm 2.8 lens, Tamron 24-70mm 2.8, Nikon 60mm 2.8 lens, Tamron 10-24mm

Feedback

Manipulate your light source, learn your camera and what settings you need to achieve the look you want and get down low!
