Location
This photo was taken from a point on Hirtle Lake, Nova Scotia. I like to capture meaningful lasting moments. This was one of those moments. I am a self taught photographer, learning new things every time an opportunity comes along.Time
This shot was taken 5 Dec 2014, at 11:52 am.Lighting
The lighting was what caught my eye. This birch is a favorite tree, as it shines brightly in the midday sunlight. The angle of the sun illuminated the tree in such a way that it stood out, alone.Equipment
The camera was SGH 1317M. ISO 80. F 2.6. Exposure 1/520. No flash. No additional equipment or accessories.Inspiration
Nature appeared to be shining a spotlight on this little tree. Given the adverse growing conditions, large rocks, little soil, in the shadows of a grand pine tree, growing horizontally, and with tiny roots, it has extraordinary strength. Surviving. Thriving. Inspiring.Editing
This photo had no post processing other than the watermark.In my camera bag
In my bag is my Canon xs60hs, my tripods, lens cleaner, 2 spare charged battery packs, spare 16G SD card, glasses, sunglasses, time and patience. :)Feedback
There are spectacular photo opportunities everywhere. Everyday. From the beautiful sunny days to the storms brewing on the horizon. Be observant of and choose the background for your subject, one that will enhance the photo. It may be as simple as moving to the side a bit. Lighting is important. It can truly be the heart of the photo. Learn ways to portray feelings through photos. Photography is time. It is time captured. Feelings captured. Thoughts captured. Memories captured. Treasured moments saved. Be always prepared. Camera always fully charged with spare power available, clean, with room for lots of photos. Bag always packed, ready to go. Take photos using the highest resolution available because it may not be the planned subject that captures your eye afterward...you may capture an infinite moment only thought to be a dream. Always try to be in a state of learning something more to improve your shots. So many love to share their expertise. Join some photography clubs. Share your work. Take time to be still and notice your surroundings. There's so much to see and share. Even 10 minutes can bring together a phenominal photoshoot. When something captures your attention, quick...grab your camera! Have fun!
