Location
I took this in Brentwood, California on a country road.Time
Believe it or not this was taken around noon on a sunny day.Lighting
The photo wasn't all that exciting without clouds on a sunny day so I decided to do some creative editing.Equipment
I shot this with a Nikon D800 and a Nikkor 28-300mm lens. I rested the camera on a fence post. I also shoot all my pictures in RAW to give me more editing power.Inspiration
I love the dirt road going up the hill with the oak trees. It makes me wonder what's over the hill. I thought the road provided the perfect leading line to the (fake) sunrise.Editing
I edited this picture in Adobe Photoshop and used Topaz Labs ReStyle for the colors and motionVFX mFlare for the fake sun.In my camera bag
I carry a Nikon D800 and a Nikkor 28-300mm lens.Feedback
If a photo is taken that is exposed properly and sharp there is a lot that can be done in post to make the picture better. Sometimes I play around with a picture to see what can be done to make it even better.
