Haha, I have a photo somewhere in my gallery of this magnificent Treasure. What a beauty she is!! We flew to England and Ireland a bit over a year ago. I love it so much over there - so green and picturesque!

Location
This image was taken while on a bus tour of Ireland.Time
This was a beautiful sunny day with puffy white clouds...late morning.Lighting
Clouds rolled past the sun offering variations of light to choose from.Equipment
On a trip of this kind, on and off buses all day long, every day, I carried only one camera, a Nikon D5200 with a Sigma 18 - 150 zoom.Inspiration
The driving force was the deep color of green surrounding the dull gray of the castle, a classic landmark.Editing
Just the slightest crop to tighten.In my camera bag
For me there is no normal. Every shooting situation, assignment, calls for different equipment. Carrying what you don't need means carrying weight you don't want.Feedback
Especially on a tour, shoot like you will never see the same ever again...and never one shot of a given subject. Change composition, perspective, and bracket in contrasty situations. Tell a story!
