Location
This shot was taken in Yellowstone National Park.Time
This shot was taken in the early afternoon.Lighting
I was somewhat shaded from the sun which helped soften the lighting.Equipment
This shot was taken several years ago. I was just getting into digital photography. I was using Kodak Z891. It is a point & shoot but it has some limited capabilities in Manual, Aperture & Shutter. I've actually gotten some good shots with this camera.Inspiration
This beautiful beast was walking down the road in the opposite lane. I could not get a shot a him because of other cars. At the last possible moment he crossed in front of my car. I had my camera on the passenger seat & grabbed this shot - a once in a lifetime opportunity. People say that timing is everything in photography. With this shot I'd have to agree.Editing
I used Lightroom 4 to process this photo. I sharpened the photo & brought out the colors. It really helped bring this photo alive.In my camera bag
I carry a Canon 70D now. It has two lenses: 18-55MM STM & 55-250mm STM.Feedback
If I could recommend anything, I would say keep a camera with you all the time. Learn to use all of the functions of your camera. Then when possible push your boundaries & step outside your comfort zone. You'll be amazed at the scenes you will capture.
