Location
This was taken in Tre Cime national park in the Dolomites in Italy. This particular viewpoint is very near to the mountain hut Rifugio Auronzo, where I was staying that night.Time
Late afternoon, a bit before sunset. The light was gorgeous at that time.Lighting
See aboveEquipment
Nikon d5100 with 35 mm prime lens.Inspiration
This viewpoint over Cadini, Sorapiss and Cristallo is one of my favourites the Dolomites. I particularly like the view of Cadini with its jagged peaks. The lighting I had on this afternoon was the best I'd had during my visit.Editing
It's a panorama consisting of five images, so there was the stitching involved to produce the final image. Panoramas are great with the prime lens because, although very sharp, it lacks the width to capture a scene like this. Other than that it was only minor contrast adjustments and correction for chromatic aberration.In my camera bag
The camera, 18-55 mm kit lens, the 35 mm prime I've mentioned and 50-200 mm telephoto lens. I also have a couple of filters, a neutral density and a circular polarizer.Feedback
The Dolomites are blessed with numerous mountain huts. If capturing landscapes during the hours of best lighting it is very nice to be close to a warm bed without having to hike up or down a mountain in the dark.
