Location
Hi Awesome staff, This photo was taken at Moersdorf,Germany after crossing the longest suspension bridge in Germany.Time
The time of the day was around 2 or 3 in the afternoon.Lighting
When I finished crossing the bridge I looked and see this plain field and thought "if I wait for a couple of minutes(judging by the sun position) I will be able to archieve a great but simple(simple is beauty) unique wallpaper picture." So after 5 minutes the light was perfect, bouncing off the perfect green bumps and casting beautiful and soft shadows along with beautiful greens and a mix of warm and cold temperatures.Equipment
The equipment I used for this photo was my Nikon D7100 with a Nikkor 18-105mm vrII handheld.Inspiration
Every angle and every nature area inspire me. But with this area was different, I told to myself "I can archieve my own unique and beautiful wallpaper picture with the right conditions" and grabbed my camera(at that moment was taking pics of my son) and took this beautiful shot.Editing
Since this was a photo in RAW format I went to Lightroom to bring the colors my eyes saw at that time, the only post processing in the picture was vibrance, protect and darkening the shadows and a WB adjustment in the Temperature.In my camera bag
I don't have tons of money(wish I have so I can buy my dream equipment) so in my backpack I always have my D7100 with a nikkor 35mm 1.8 in case I have to pull a portrait of my family while traveling, I also have my 18 -105mm for versatility purposes and my Tamron 90mm macro for some portraits and awesome macro depending on the season. I also have with me my pedco ultrapod II for difficult angles, my Manfrotto micropod, my Dolica tripod and my altura N1001I TTL flash.Feedback
It's all about being patience. Everyone can archieve whatever they have in their mind but they need patience, for weather conditions(clouds,sun,fog etc) and this will contribute to the most important factor; the lighting, so be ready with the camera in the right angle and the right settings on your camera, because sometimes that light can last 10 minutes or 10 seconds, so be ready, be patience and practice. Another thing is learn to view the world and the nature from a humble way, like the visitors we are, appreciate every angle and every color and you'll be able to archieve your dream picture. Best wishes to everyone.
