Location
This shot was taken in Smoky Mountains National Park, TN. The location is the Bud Ogle place and this is the barn on the site. Update on this area--two years ago this area was damaged by fire. It is really sad to see it now. So glad I have this shot to remember a time when the trees were healthy and covered with their fall color. Things happen but we photographers will have our memories in pictures!Time
This was taken at 1 pm on Oct. 30, 2013.Lighting
The natural lighting was perfect--not too much sun but enough to highlight the leaf color.Equipment
Nikon D600, Nikon 24-70 F/2.8 lens, Manfrotto Carbon Fiber TripodInspiration
Loved the composition of the dark barn against all the brilliant autumn colors! Also, was pleased there was a nice foreground area to use in composition.Editing
I used the HDR in camera and probably lightened up some areas and a little sharpening in Adobe Photoshop.In my camera bag
Nikon 16-35 lens, Nikon 24-70 lens and Nikon 28-300. Circular polarizers and hoods for each lens. Knee pad for kneeling on the ground, really helps! White umbrella to shade sunlight for certain shots, remote, extra battery and memory cards.Feedback
Be familiar with area--try to visit at different times of day and season. In tourist areas like this you have to be patient--there are a lot tourist and you have to wait for them to move out of shot! Of course, move around and take from different angles to see which is best for sun, shade, etc. An interesting foreground is always a plus!
