Backdoor view, I never get bored with it, no photoshop as I try to take a good shot with just camera and lens

This is in front of my house, very privileged

I played with the curve on this one to really make the blue pop more, first attempt for me on lightroom basics

Location

While driving back from Adelaide, South Aust the weather was perfect and very calm, small tramp through scrub and barb wire fences to get to the spot I wanted to take the photo

Time

Pretty sure it was in the early Avo

Lighting

I didn't have a choice with lighting as we stop to take photos when we can not planned at all.

Equipment

This photo was shot on my canon 6d with 16-35mm canon lens with tripod and timer to eliminate camera shake

Inspiration

Have always looked at this spot but never had the opportunity to stop, but this day was perfect in every way including our ability to stop as we were not in a rush to get home this day.

Editing

I don't own photoshop so I can only crop, tickle the colour and change from colour to black and white, this makes me try to take a good shot, I feel I am getting better but lots of room for improvement especially when I eventually get around to planning a shot

In my camera bag

I carry everything except the kitchen sink, the only thing I lack is a macro lens

Feedback

This has been a couple of years waiting for the opportunity to stop and the weather to be just right too, don't give up on the dream of your shot
