Location
This wild daisy grows among other weeds and overgrowth in my wooded side yard. It is a perfect spot for photos as the sun rises through the sometimes dense brush. I was excited about the small flowers trying to thrive through the other weeds the year I got this shot. The following two years since taking this shot, I have tried to plant domesticated flowers to catch this light, but the flowers have never survived the tough weeds that thrive there. Poison ivy winds its nasty claws throughout all of our woods, and has poisoned me every year, even with protective wear. This morning, great shots, and no poison ivy rash!Time
This image was photographed in an August sunrise. The overnight temperature change from the night created a magical, dewy mist on the weeds that reflect the sun as it rose. It is one of my favorite spots in the wooded area of my yard as the frost and snow will also reflect the sun in the colder Pennsylvania seasons. Many of my favorite photos have been taken in this area.Lighting
I love the magic of the sunrise and sunset lighting. There is something special about the clean, early mornings when most of the world is still asleep or rushing off to work. I feel such peace and happiness every sunrise I watch and feel for people who miss this magical time of day that is taken for granted.Equipment
Nikon D7000 and my Tamron 90 mm macro lens.Inspiration
My inspiration was my favorite things to photograph, sunrises and fog. (The fog created the dew drops on the flower.)Editing
The Nikon D7000 was relatively new when I took this photo. I was also trying to learn Photoshop with How To books. I did the cross screen filter effect in camera processing.In my camera bag
I carry my neutral density filters for my only two lenses, Tamron 90 mm and Tamron 18-270 lens. I also carry a tripod, my pocket calibration card, and lens cleaning cloths.Feedback
My advise would be the advise I took from others on ViewBug, find something or time of day that you like to shoot and concentrate on that. The day's shoot seems so much more rewarding.
