Behind The Lens

Location

Red Rocks, Nevada - boulder called Plumbers Crack

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

Shot in pretty under a pretty overcast sky with little contrast.

Equipment

Canon SL1, 28 mm lens, handheld no flash

Inspiration

The interesting rock formation allows a unique playground for photography. I chose to sit very still and capture multiple shots as my friend Sam scaled the rock (to merge in post later)

Editing

Using layers and masks in photoshop, I was able to merge multiple Sams into one photo. I switched to black and white, increased contrast slightly, and added ~5% clarity.

In my camera bag

Canon SL3, 24-105mm L IS USM 1:4 lens, DJI osmo pocket, GoPro Hero 7 Black, an array of 3D printed mounts, tripods, and brackets.

Feedback

Find the landscape, design the experience, have the right friend/actor, execute.
