Location
I was driving on the back roads of North Carolina forever searching for these 1800s barns/homes but with one with a sunset view. I had gotten lucky down this dirt road had found all these trees freshly cut and was able to see this magnificent barn with a view. I ended up in the city of Cedar Creek.Time
This was during sunsetLighting
I was in luck that the light had started to turn golden with enough cloud coverage to be able to get the shot I wanted.Equipment
I had used Canon 5DS-R with a Zeiss 15'' on top of RRS 34L & BH55Inspiration
There are so many of these really old 1800s building where ever you go in this area and they have fascinated me on the history and makes you think how life was when they were in their prime. The only problem is usually they are covered with a blanket of trees with no great light ever even reaching them. Thats what started my pursuit. On this shot I saw this big tree stump and was amazed at all the detail of this fresh cut tree had to offer and I knew I had to incorporate it into the shot somehow.Editing
This is two photos: first one with the horizon at the top of the frame and then tilted the lens up so the edge of the tree stump was at the bottom of frame. I took these shots into Photoshop and had hand aligned them together before just brushing away the parts of the so they would blend seamlessly. There were a lot of stick clean up used in this photo and had brought the brightness down while adding some contrast to select areas using Lumenzia.In my camera bag
For landscapes usually Canon 5DSR & 5DMIV with 24-70 2.8, 70-200 2.8, and Zeiss 15 2.8Feedback
I would just make sure to have your eyes pealed no matter where you are and if the lighting is right pull over and get a few shots if not make save it to your google maps or TPE app so you can find out when the best time is to go back. For me lately, I have been just finding serenity traveling the back roads and seeing all these amazing farms when the light hits it just right.
