Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at Valley of Fire State Park, Nevada.

Time

It was taken in the morning, around 0800hrs. I arrived at the park right at sunrise, but was distracted by two (2) male Desert Bighorn sheep, I photographed them for about 2hrs. I decided to see what else was at the park when I noticed the sun playing off the rocks...

Lighting

The sun was starting to get above the rocks; it was bouncing in and amongst the rock walls.

Equipment

This was shot on a Canon 5d MKIII / Canon 70-200mm f/4 / Induro Tripod was used.

Inspiration

I thought this was from another planet when I was looking at it.

Editing

Processed in Lightroom, used a preset to adjust the overall picture, it gave me a great starting point. I then deepened the reds and adjusted sky.

In my camera bag

For this trip I had my trusty FStop Loki bag / Canon 5d MKIII / Sigma 100-400mm / Canon 24-70mm f/2.8 / Canon 70-200mm f/4. Induro Tripod and and Induro Ball head.

Feedback

The only advice I can give is arrive early and in the middle of the week so the Park is basically yours. If it had been a different time the Rangers Im sure would not have let me stop in the middle of the road or off on the shoulder to grab this image. I didnt see anyone the first 3 hrs I was at the park.
