Location
This photo was taken in Baylands Park in Sunnyvale, CATime
11amLighting
This is all natural light, it was a cloudy day and the model was under the shade of the treesEquipment
Canon 5DmkII with a 70-200mm f/2.8L lens at 70mmInspiration
Many years ago I saw a photo by French photographer of a nude woman walking down a tree lined sidewalk carrying a birdcage. A nude walking away down a path or road is a fairly common theme, but the trees in that original image always stuck with me so when I found this path instantly visualized my photo.Editing
This photo has fairly extensive post-processing. I cloned out a lot of distractions at the end of the path and some trash along the edges, I retouched the model's skin, the biggest change was to change the leaves from green to golden using Nik Color Effects Pro.In my camera bag
Canon 5DmkII, Canon 17-40mm F/4L, Canon 24-70mm f/2.8L, Canon 24-105mm f/4L, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L, Canon 580 strobe, 4 pocket wizards, intervalometer, CamRanger, lots of memory cards, batteries, and business cards.Feedback
A lot of this shot was finding the right location however the post-processing took it from a so-so photo to an above average photo. Don't pass up so-so photos when making selections.
