Location
I took this photo in Fayetteville West Virginia at the New River Gorge Bridge. The way the sun was hitting the bridge so intensely that i had to capture the moment as it only lasted a minute or two.Time
This spot really always brought peace and serenity to my mind. I wanted to capture the way it makes me feel. This specific photo was taken around 3pm on a cold winters day when the sun had just peaked out between the clouds.Lighting
The only lighting I used in this photo was the sun itself, there was no need to add more lighting when it was hitting the bridge just right.Equipment
This photo was taken with a Canon SL1 with a 300mm lens.Inspiration
Shooting nature is one of my favorite things to do but when mixed with a man made bridge that possibilities are endless. The sun really warms the photo and hits the bridge just right.Editing
All I did with this photo was warm the colors just a touch...this was one of the least edited photos I have done. Nature is beautiful all on its own.In my camera bag
My bag is my life! I carry my Canon SL1 body with stock lens, my 300mm lens, 40mm pancake lens, lens cleaner, some filter lenses, my battery packs, and my lucky 4 leaf clover bracelet.Feedback
I bring my camera everywhere I go. I have learned the hard way. I am still considered new to the photography field, as I have only done it for about 4 years. I have much more to learn but I love being self taught. I have learned that just because you are "new" doesn't mean you can't be good...put your passion and hard work into your projects and success is limitless.
