Location
Fayetteville WV...it's the New River Gorge Bridge. It was built in 1977 to solve a commuting problem on winding narrow country roads. What used to take 40 minutes now takes less than a minute! It crosses one of North Americas oldest rivers. It's the third highest bridge in the United States. In the third Saturday in October they have bridge day where people parachute from the bridge. You can also walk the bridge. It is a gorgeous place.Time
Not certain about the time without looking on my original photo. We were heading out on a 10 day motorcycle trip and this was our first scenic stop. I would say it was around 11:00 a.m.Lighting
It is all natural lighting. I don't remember exactly but I may have worked on the shadows and highlights some.Equipment
This could be considered a "lucky" shot! I used my little Canon Power Shot SD780 IS. No tripod or flash just s natural shot.Inspiration
Our first time being here and our first stop.Editing
I never use photoshop or anything like that. I do crop and straighten my shots sometimes and enhance the color somethings.In my camera bag
I always have my power shot camera and I have a canon rebel. I always carry chargers and memory cards and a lens cleaner. I've also been known to take a pretty good iPhone photo as well!Feedback
As I said I go for the natural beauty. I barely manipulate my photos if at all. I take several shots of a subject when I see the moment I want to capture. Just look for the beauty...originality...etc and shoot away!
