This shot looks like any fairy tale you might dream about or see in a movie. I just love how it puts you there in Story-ville. Just look at the color balance and texture. Fantastic. Great shot.

Location
This one was shoot at Cornwall Park, Auckland, New ZealandTime
Late afternoon, just before sunset.Lighting
It was a fairly high-contrast scene, with the sun nearing sunset and the foreground in complete shadow.I elected to shoot for HDR processing.Equipment
Nikon D5100 with Nikkor 12-24mm.Inspiration
I was fascinated by the entangled roots on this old lone tree sat on top a small hill.Editing
This is an HDR image processed with the SNS-HDR plugin for Lightroom.In my camera bag
I travel light. Too much gear is a liability when traversing rough terrain, climbing fences, wading through streams and clambering through bush and forests etc.Feedback
As this shot in low light, and in a fairly high-contrast situation I elected to shoot three bracket exposures with the intention of merging to HDR. That of course means using a tripod!
