Desert storm - Lightroom settings, BTS, location (Patreon)

Retouch

I usually try to no alter too much on my pictures, so frame it as best as I can, but there were some small bushes (as you can see on the RAW image) that I removed in Photoshop... this was before AI-assisted image generation, so it was finicky.

Model

You probably already know her, she is the one I shot the most with in my life probably... @grinnie.stone.rw - of course she is a recommend

Location

Some kind of old small rock-mine, not sure... It's a bit hard to park your car around it, so expect a few km of hike.

When we went there with Grinnie we almost got a heatstroke on the way there and got absolutely drenched in a storm on the way back :D I wanted to shoot more, but we had to be fast before the storm arrived.

Gear

• Sigma 85mm
• Canon 6D
• Canon 50mm (nifty fifty)

Settings

• ISO 100
• 1 / 320 sec
• f / 2,5

When we started I shot on 1/640, but as the storm approached I had to crank it up a bit... luckily the 6D managed without upping the ISO, but I was pushing it a bit.
