Behind The Lens

Location

Looking Glass Falls in Pisgah National Forest.

Time

This was taken about mid-morning.

Lighting

No.

Equipment

This was shot with my Nikon D5200.

Inspiration

Being visible from Highway 276 and having easy access to the bottom, this waterfall is the most popular in Transylvania County, also known as “The Land of Waterfalls”. While driving by after a hike one day, I noticed that the parking area was empty, so I figured I would have the waterfall to myself and could get a good shot with no people in the background.

Editing

No.

In my camera bag

I usually have my camera body with both of the lenses I own (18-55mm and 55-300mm) with an extra battery, an extra SD card, and the neck strap for my camera (when I’m using my Peak Design Clutch 3.0 camera strap to keep thing handheld and more convenient for those unexpected, quick shots.

Feedback
