Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in Saratoga, Wyoming.Time
Mid-morningLighting
Just natural lighting on a day in May. The wheel and skateboard were in an open garage.Equipment
Sony Nex-6 with a 17-55mm lens.Inspiration
I was visiting in this very small down and decided to walk around in the streets and alleys. This alley was a small dirt road that had open garages facing out. I saw this broken wheel and unusual skateboard and thought it had such character in this small, old Wyoming town.Editing
I used the sliders on iphoto to tweak the image with contrast and sharpness. I also used the in-camera HDR.In my camera bag
I carry a shoulder bag with the Sony Nex-7, 17-55mm, 14mm, 55-200mm and fish-eye lenses, two extra batteries and one extra memory card. Sometimes I carry a tri-pod or bean bag.Feedback
I did not realize the impact of this image until I saw it on the computer. The only advice I can give is to SEE what you are walking by, notice the objects that have potential, and not waste opportunity.
