Behind The Lens

Location

This Photo was taken in Clarksville Tennessee. As a disabled veteran photographer I try to capture the everyday images that have a way to be over looked as well as capture ones attention.I have entered this photo in a few art shows locally and done well with it. It goes to show that there are unique things all around us if you just take time to look.

Time

I took this photo early in the morning during a foggy overcast day.

Lighting

In the thick fog bank in the morning hours the lighting was mostly over all from the east.

Equipment

On this particular day I was out shooting with a Nikon D 90 camera paired up with a Nikon 55-140 mm lens. ISO - 200 F stop- 5.6 Exposure time was 1/125 sec No flash or tripod was used at all.

Inspiration

I was doing a college photography class and we had a themed class challenger of mystic fog images. When i went out to see what all I could capture, this bridge really jumped out at me and I just had to capture the stunning images while I could that morning. It truly came out amazing and i loved how I captured the fog at the far end of the bridge as it looks like its just waiting for the train to come shooting through it.

Editing

As for post processing, all I did was a minimal adjustments in photo shop with the raw image. a slight color saturation on it and that it.

In my camera bag

My camera bag usually consists of my D 90 and my D 5300, at least 4 different lenses ranging from a 10-20 mm to a 35 mm, 18-55 kit lens and a 18-140 mm lens . I have a flash unit I carry with me a Nikon SB 900 flash and a sun pack DF 3600 U flash.I carry a tripod as well as a mono pod with lens cleaning cloths and my lens filters all in on e compact camera back pack for the days on in the country or in the city.

Feedback

I would suggest that if you are wanting to capture images like this that you do some scouting around and once you find a few good locations that you want to shoot at try to get there early during the first 3 hours of day break to get the best overall effects of the fog banks on your location. Shoot from different angles as well as from the ground. It will produce different effects with the lighting so you can pick and chooses what you like best.
