Behind The Lens

Location

It was taken at Lost Maples St. Pk several years ago.

Time

It was shot in late afternoon in early Nov.

Lighting

Like most landscapes, the lighting is best in early morning or late aft.

Equipment

I used a Canon D20 and an old Slik tripod. The lens was a Tamron 18-200mm

Inspiration

I go to Lost Maples almost every year. I love the scenery out there. The Fall foliage varies every year. It is only about an hour and a half from San Antonio--where I live

Editing

I'm not good at post processing, so I just used Picasa. I boosted the mids a LOT

In my camera bag

(see the equipment I described above.) I travel light.

Feedback

When shooting Fall landscapes, don't stay focused on a row of trees. Keep your mind open. Look for small portions of pretty leaves too. Shoot them backlit as well as with the sun shining on it. Lastly, decide how to crop/compose it. Keep the main points out of the middle. Experiment a bit on the cropping. At this location, I probably shot about 10 photos. They varied in focal length, angle, and exposure.
