And making a photo like this I think can only happen here. Especially when I think this image was made only a 15-minute drive from my home and a short hike from the trailhead. When I posted this images on social media a few months ago there was a lot of positive reaction. I decided to make a video describing just how this image was made.

Here’s how: Take a “high ISO test shot” in order to find proper exposure at a short exposure time and then extrapolate from there. For my high ISO test shot, I set the camera to the “M” manual setting and use a 32-second exposure time at an aperture of f/5.6 and ISO 3200. If still under exposed, I continue to open up the aperture (or increases the ISO if I can’t open the lens aperture wide enough) and make another test exposure until I have the correct exposure according to the histogram. * and if I INCREASE the exposure by 6 stops I must DECREASE the exposure (less light) by the same 6 stops from somewhere else (ISO or Aperture) in order to balance out the proper exposure.

You’ll see the sun making an appearance through a gap in the cloud layer and then disappearing again. www.schultzphoto.com Sign up for Jeff’s FREE monthly E-newsletter with tips and information on taking your photography to the next level: The story behind the photo — Aliy Zirkle SunsetMother and Calf with Denali - THE BACKSTORYThe First Shipment is Here!
