Location
Lucerne Valley, an old farming community in the Mojave Desert in CaliforniaTime
During the winters evening civil twilightLighting
The early morning and late evening sky's in the desert almost always have beautiful colors.Equipment
This image was shot with a Canon 7d and a Canon 17-85 IS USM lens. Using a Manfroto tripod, I took 3 exposures +2 stops, normal, -2 stopsInspiration
I pass by this little shack every day and find it sad that, in days gone by this little house was home to some farm hands family and now it is just rotting away.Editing
This was 3 images +2 stops, normal, -2 stops and processed in PhotoMatix Pro for HDR. In Lightroom 5 I knocked down the saturation a bit, as too many HDR images are too saturated and look over processedIn my camera bag
My camera bag, which is always in my Jeep has a Canon 7d and T3 bodies, Tokina 11-16 f/2.8, Canon 17-85mm IS USM, and a Tokina 80-400mm f/4.5,5.6 lenses. It also has a Manfrotto tripod and monopod, remote triggers and intigralmeters and filters.Feedback
When shooting a subject that requires bracketing, HDR is a awesome processing tool to get a nice look and feel to the image, but most people over do it. Tone it down a bit and bring the saturation down a little. You and your admirers will like them even more.
