Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken about 200m from my front door in the Northern Cape, South Africa. I love the rainy season where we live so am constantly looking for photographic opportunities at that time. I am fortunate to have the tree so close to our house. It was taken in March 2015

Time

This was taken at around 6.30pm -

Lighting

The setting sun fell perfectly onto the tree

Equipment

I used a Pentax K5II and my 18 - 250mm zoom lens

Inspiration

When I saw the light and the clouds I grabbed my camera and ran outside to take photos as I knew I would get an awesome shot

Editing

All I did was enhance the saturation and lightened the grass in the foreground and probably gave it a bit of a crop. Besides that it's pretty much straight out of camera

In my camera bag

Pentax either K5II or K7 with the Si gma 18 - 250 lens.

Feedback

Watch the weather and if you're fortunate enough - get to know your surrounds which isn't always possible I know. Fortunately for me I live in nature so can pretty much tell whether we will have good lighting or not for a sunrise or sunset
