Behind The Lens

Location

Washington DC National Mall taking a picture of the Lincoln Memorial.

Time

Sunset during the spring of 2022

Lighting

Natural light during sunset.

Equipment

Nikon Z7ii with Z-70-200mm lens on a tripod. No filters.

Inspiration

I was in DC about 10 years ago when they were doing construction on the Reflection Pond. I was able to go back and wanted to get this shot that I wasn't able to before.

Editing

Reduced the shadow and saturated yellow to bring in more color to the sunset.

In my camera bag

Z7ii, Z24-70mm, Z14-30mm, Z70-200mm, tripod, ND filters, Polarizer filter. and water.

Feedback

Get to your location early to setup and to stake out your spot. Chances are that there are other photographers such as yourself that want the same picture. Use apps like PhotoPills to know the path of the sun to help judge where you want to setup.
