Behind The Lens

Location

While hiking Dark Hollow Falls in Shenandoah National Park.

Time

Some time around midday or half way through the hike. It was refreshing to take a dip in the water after the hike

Lighting

I wanted the shot to look relaxing and peaceful, as if you had reached a tranquil destination. The lighting was natural, I used a variable ND filter to motion blue the water and I set the photo for a warm feel.

Equipment

This was shot with a Cabin 80D with a 18-135mm lens.

Inspiration

Nature is my favorite thing to shoot. Nature has always been my escape, peace and personal enjoyment and I enjoy capturing moments from it to share with others.

Editing

Because I was using a 18-135mm I had to shoot 6 photos and stitch them together in Lightroom. After wards I did some brightening in the shadow areas, contrast, a touch of saturation and some other basic edits.

In my camera bag

Normally I have my Canon 80D with a 24-75mm f2.8, a back up Canon T5 with a 10-18mm wide lens, a 18-135mm lens, ND filters, extra batteries, remote shutter, a tripod, a speed flash, and some business cards.

Feedback

Take your time. You can hike any trail and miss dozens of awe inspiring photos. Take your time, sit and observe. Explore angles, find a subject and tell its story. If there isnt much of a story, then what emotion do you feel when you observe it? Recreate that in image.
