Location
This photo was taken in Cuyahoga Valley National Park in Ohio. I stay in this area every summer to visit with one of my best friends who I met online five years ago. She is featured in this shot.Time
This photo was taken around mid-day.Lighting
The natural lighting was obscured by a thick canopy of trees. This gave any of the photos we took a very moody feeling.Equipment
I used a Canon EOS Rebel T3.Inspiration
I was looking for a way to not only capture the beautiful scenery, but also take a great photo of Jillian to have for years to come. The goal we placed for ourselves was to take as many photos as possible during our time together, which we definitely followed through on. I like to capture a sense of sultry adventure in my outdoor photos and if that means going to places beyond my comfort zone, consider it done.Editing
The only post-processing I ever do with my photos is enhance the contrast and occasionally cool down the tone of the photo. I like to keep my photos as raw as possible.In my camera bag
Besides my camera, I usually carry extra batteries, a tripod, my phone, pepper spray, and some food. Though this is a wide variety of items, they all could come in handy in any situation.Feedback
Be flexible. You may not always get a perfect shot right away, but that's fine. You have to master patience and direction because the outside elements are not always going to agree with you.
