Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming. This area is called Oxbow Bend and is a favorite site for photographers and visitors alike. it also is one of the most photographed areas in the world.Time
I believe this picture was taken in mid-day. Unfortunately I don’t live there so pictures happen when we take a day trip and not when I’d like the correct lighting.Lighting
The lighting is slightly enhanced using the de-haze and the dodge and burn technique to bring out the detail in the mountains. I’m in the infant stage of post processing, what I photograph is what I get.Equipment
I used a Canon 5Dii and a Canon 24-70 mm wide angle lens with a polarizing filter, on a tripod to capture this picture.Inspiration
As mentioned this is a hot spot for photographers and is a favorite of mine. I will visit many times during spring, summer and fall to capture its splendor.Editing
My workflow is very simple because of my lack of experience in post processing. Post processing for me consists of using LR and/or Luminar 4 to lighten, dehaze, and sharpen (if necessary). I crop in Adobe Photoshop 15 because it’s (in my opinion) the easiest application to use for cropping.In my camera bag
My camera bag includes two Canon cameras, a 5Diii and a 7Dii; two lenses, a Canon 24 - 70mm F2.8 for landscape photography and a Canon 100 - 400mm F4.0 with a 1.4 extender for wildlife; a tripod and; cleaning cloths, rain equipment for my cameras, and a dust blower. It should be noted the 100-400mm lens is also good for landscape photography, which depends on the composition . Both are excellent lenses and are versatile. In addition, I always carry my Camera manuals for reference when necessary, very helpful when Bracketing is being considered.Feedback
I don’t recommend taking a midday photo of this area unless you use a polarizing filter. The filter helped bring out the intensity of the reflection in the water. Most photographers would capture this area during sunrise or sunset, after storms or on cloudy days. I would also recommend using the Bracketing method if time permits.
