Gear Used to Photograph Hallett Peak & Dream Lake at RMNP
The following camera gear was used in the Colorado Landscape Photography of Hallett Peak & Dream Lake at Rocky Mountain National Park:
- a Nikon D850 & Really Right Stuff L-Bracket,
- an iPhone 10 X Max Plus,
- F-Stop Gear Aloe Green Tilopa 50L Back Pack (with large Pro ICU),
- a Gitzo CF6X Mountaineer 2 tripod (GT2530),
- with a Really Right Stuff BH-40 LR Ballhead,
- the Nikkor AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8,
- and a Nikkor AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED lens.
These late October photos were all taken on a tripod with the exception of the images taken using the iPhone. The D850 exposures for the images averaged between 1/50 of a second to 1/200 second at f/10 and f/11. We used the D850’s native ISO of 64. On the iPhone we used auto ISO as well as Apple’s native camera App. Some of these images were created by combining several exposures at one full stop apart in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC. This HDR process was done in order to capture the high dynamic range of the scene to retain highlight detail. The photo shown at right was captured on the iPhone XS Max and lightly processes in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC.
