Sunset Between Trees

by John MacLean Photography

"Sunset Between Trees" by John MacLean Photography

Date Taken: 05/19/2014
Location: Waterrock Knob Overlook Milepost 451.2
Sunset framed between the trees.

Camera: Canon EOS 5D Mark III
Lens: Canon EF TS-E 17mm f/4L
Focal Length: 17mm
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/25 – 1/6 – 0.6
Aperture: f/11
Filters: None
Exposure: Manual
How I Got This Shot: I used the rising shift function on my lens to get more sky and less foreground. Then I set the camera to bracket just 3 frames because of the speed of the moving clouds. The exposure bracket of (-2, 0, +2) was merged to a 32 bit HDR TIF in Adobe Photoshop CC and then final processing in Adobe Lightroom 5.4. You don’t realize how fast clouds move until you try to blend them!
