Location
The scene is from Three Lakes Park in Henrico County Virginia. A film crew was wrapping up for the day and the boats were being removed by the owner. Someone had brought the first one over, then went back for another, when I received this image.Time
This image materialized at 5:40pm on the 30th of October, 2014.Lighting
There were few clouds in the sky, and this lake is mostly surrounded by trees.Equipment
Canon 50D with a Tamron 18-270 Di II VC PZD, handheld.Inspiration
This park is on the way home from work, and I hadn't been out to get many autumn photos. I knew this had water and leaves, and it was the right time of the day.Editing
I shoot RAW and post-process with Lightroom. In this case it was a little adjustment on the white balance, shadow adjustment, highlighting the sky, and sharpening.In my camera bag
Canon 50D (or T4i) with Tamron 18-270mm attached. Also Canon 10-18mm, and a 50mm 1.8 are usually in the bag.Feedback
Shoot, shoot and shoot. Find scenes that make you smile and let them unfold. I like to underexpose by 1/3 stop when shooting landscape, especially autumn scenes.
