Location
I took this when I first started out full-time RVing. I was on my way to Cedar Breaks in Utah and saw this dirt road and stand of trees just starting to change colors. I drove back into the trees on the road and loved the variety of green and gold along with the grey of the road.Time
This was early in the morning so it was cool and no wind.Lighting
All natural lighting. The sun was shining and there was not a cloud in the sky.Equipment
My Canon T3 with the standard 18-55mm lens.Inspiration
I love the colors that trees go through as they get ready for winter. Greens turn into gold, some turn into red and some a combination. They are all glorious.Editing
Little post processing was done except to increase the brightness, increase the contrast and increase saturation.In my camera bag
I have a telephoto (55-200 mm), graduated filters and holder, and my camera release button.Feedback
Watch the trees around you and when they start looking like they might change colors, get ready to take a trip to the forest. Higher altitudes started sooner than the lower altitudes.
