Location
This image was taken in Goffstown, NH, along the Piscataquog River. I had a day off and was driving around the local area practicing. Stopped at this spot because the foliage was very dramatic. It was totally beginners luck!Time
Around 8 am.Lighting
It was slightly overcast, but the colors of the leaves were still very vibrant. It was just a beautiful fall morning.Equipment
This was shot with a Canon T3. I was just starting out back then. I don't recall the settings, but I have to admit there is a really good chance this was done in full automatic mode!Inspiration
The foliage was brilliant that year, and I wanted to capture it in as many ways possible. I was wandering along the riverbank, saw the branch, and took several different shots from a variety of angles.Editing
Very little. I cropped some from the right side, increase the vibrance a touch, and left it alone from there.In my camera bag
Back then, just the T3, a 15 - 88 lens, and a zoom. Now, a lot more! I have two bodies now, both Canons, one a T6 and one a SL1. My go to now is the SL1 with an ES 70 - 200. Variety of filters (which I don't often use), a monopod, tripod.Feedback
For fall colors like that, live in New England! This shot was purely my being in the right place at the right time. So....get out there! Wander around. Stop in places that don't seem likely. I don't usually set up shots at all. I prefer to capture the unexpected moments, the unplanned, and the beauty of nature as it presents itself at any given moment.
