Location
This is a composite (2) photos. The photo of the dear was taken mid-day just east of Murdock, WA. and the sunset photo was taken in the Sierra Nevada Mt's southwest of Twain Harte, CA.Time
The Deer photo was taken in the early evening and the sunset shot was taken between 8-9pm.Lighting
I love to shoot anything with lots of colors on nice days, water falls or moving water on cloudy days and at night I love to shoot the Milky-way and or moon lit shots. Just try anything and everything and you will learn. You can't fail because you will learn what will not work and how to make great shots.Equipment

One of the main differences an normal person and a pro is when your are driving along and you think you see a possible photo go by. A pro will turn around and get the shot and most will keep going and hope they can get it another time and when they go back to it, it may not be there anymore.
