Canon Rebel

What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?

It was high up in the Angeles Crest mountains, a cold brisk morning.

It was about 45 degrees outside, but the birds were still chirping. The sun had just peeked over the mountain top and was shining its rays right onto our camp site. There was no flash due to my camera being on manual instead of auto.

Advice

  • Tilted my camera differently
  • Captured the reflection of the closed sign in the water
