Behind The Lens

Location

This sunrise photo was taken along the TN/NC boarder (which is about 100 ft. behind me) on Max Path Mountain in the Appalachia Mountains. The photo is looking into Tennessee towards Newport, TN.

Time

Around 6:40am in late April, luckily the cabin I was staying in was about 40 feet behind me from where I took this photo. Which was very helpful as I did not need to get up extra early to travel to the location. I was able to spend lots of time taking this image and several other image (3 which I really liked) during the morning golden hour.

Lighting

I was actually taking photos of the sunrise though some disorganized trees on a near by ridge, really nothing interesting. The sun was just breaking the ridge in front of me though those trees, I turned around and saw the morning glow to the west. This was much inspiring then the actual sunrise. I reset my tripod for this image, bracketing the exposure due to a harsh contrast. I took over 85 images of this subject, capturing the changes in the sky as the sun rose and the lighting changed with the angle of the sun and the shadows from the trees. What caught my attention with this image was the lighting on the door of the cabin.

Equipment

I use Canon 7D on a tripod and cable release. For this image I used my Tamron 28-75mm f/2.9 lens wide open at 28mm

Inspiration

The morning glow in the horizon with all the colors. Plus the view the cabin has every morning in these Appalachia Mountains. The owner of the cabins told me later that no one has never used her husband's craft cabin as a subject for any of her photo workshops.

Editing

For this image, I used Photomatix to do a basic HDR to combine the exposures, all the adjustment were done in Lightroom. I did have to remove lots of spots do to dirty sensor plus darken the cabin in the background as it did not want to draw unwanted attention.

In my camera bag

My main camera is the Canon 7D, I carry 3 zoom lenses from 10mm to 300mm, all Tamron. My prime lens are 50mm, 100mm (macro) and 400mm which are all Canon. I also have a Canon 45mm prime tilt/shift lens.

Feedback

Turn around, you never know what you are missing when you fixate your attention to one subject. Also take many different images of your subject, bracket your exposure, change your framing (vertical/horizontal) and use different F-stops to provide variety of depth of field focus as you do not know when you will see this again.
