Behind The Lens
Location
In the mountains of South Dakota.Time
As the sun was rising on the mountains behind the riders.Lighting
The sun rising behind the riders was enough gave enough light that the riders were in shadow but not quite silhouettes. The light filtered through the flag allowing you to see the stars and stripes.Equipment
Nikon D80 with an18-200 mm lens. Handheld, no tripod.Inspiration
I liked the odd number of riders with the flag being carried by the center rider. The subtle line of the road led to the riders was a plus.Editing
Minimal post processing. Adjustments for lighting and shadows, and cropping.In my camera bag
My Nikon D750 camera with my everyday lens, a 28-300 mm lens and an extra battery. Depending on what I am planning on shooting will determine what other lenses (if any) I bring and if I need to carry a tripod.Feedback
Find that ridge with the sun rising (or setting) behind your subject.
