Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at Hoover dam in Arizona.

Time

It was that sweet golden hour just as the sun was setting.

Lighting

I wanted to wait until the sun was setting to get this Contrast look, sun on one side shadow on the other side.

Equipment

I actually shot this on a iPhone 6s. You don’t need expensive equipment for great shots.

Inspiration

The location I was at. Hoover Dam is amazing place to visit. People have accomplished incredible things.

Editing

I did a little editing in Lightroom. Just made the photo a little more on the warm side. This got the sun to pop a little more.

In my camera bag

I normally have my CanonM50, kit lens, 50mm lens, Adapter for my 50mm lens. I have my GoPro hero 5 black and my iPhone. I also have two small tripods for my iPhone & camera and one 60 inch tripod for my CanonM50.

Feedback

Don’t try to copy other photographers. Yes, you can get inspiration from others but at the end of the day you have to go with your gut and photograph what you feel is right.
