Room with a View, Camp Denali, Alaska #2994

Last summer I spent two weeks in Denali, which included a one-week stay at Camp Denali to lead the fall photo workshop. After an evening presentation in the original hand-hewn log structure build in 1954, I sat at the desk enjoying the view from the library/lecture room. The worship participants had left to prepare for the evening shoot.  Before joining them, I realized my first evening shoot was this room with the view. The take away lesson from this shoot is that when a photographer shoots an interior of the building you have to balance the outside light with the interior light.  To make this work, I usually shoot at just before twilight. The perfect lighting moment does not last long and being ready at the right moment is critical. Enjoy the photo and thank you for visiting.
