Location
This was shot in Stevens Point, WI. Naturally, at the time, I was on a walk with my dog, who has since passed. Winter tends to really have those great photography moments up her sleeves, though again, you've got to be willing to have your camera on your person, or you will miss opportunitiesTime
Sometime in the afternoon (I don't remember the exact specifics offhand *laughs*)Lighting
By itself, the image looked pretty blah. Fortunately, I know a good bit about HDR compositing, so after I shot this scene, I immediately edited it inside Photomatix, with this as the resultEquipment

Whole lotta winter photosEditing
HDR in Photomatix, as I explained earlier. Shooting proved to be fairly challenging, as at the time, I did not have a tripod readily available, thus the risk of ghosting in the final productIn my camera bag
It depends *laughs*. Lately, I have only had access to smartphone cameras (the first one being on the Samsung Galaxy J7 V)Feedback
