Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the Nevada-Arizona border, across from the Hoover Dam from atop an aerial bridge.

Time

Afternoon.

Lighting

Natural light on an overcast day, waited for cloud cover over the dam.

Equipment

Canon 5D III, 24-105 L.

Inspiration

Hoover Dam is the largest concrete structure in the world. It was also a massive engineering marvel built during the U.S. Great Depression in the 1930s.

Editing

Curve and sharpening in Photoshop.

In my camera bag

I carry an R5 or 5DIV for travel. My lenses change, but I plan ahead to minimize the load. Better and fewer glass for the road is ideal for me. I rarely take more than two lenses even when on assignment. Lighting and modifiers are a whole different matter requiring their own cases.

Feedback

Study the environment. Study the subject. Create a plan and then act spontaneously.
