Location
This photo was taken just down the road from my parent's home in rural North Central Nebraska..aka The Sandhills.Time
It was just before sunset.Lighting
Lighting at Sunset is perfection. I just simply saw what I thought would be a terrific shot. It was literally a spur of the moment shot as I was out driving around on dirt roads. Something magical & relaxing about driving dirt roads in the country. It clears your head & quiets the soul. Images like this one just pop up when your mind is clear and focused on the beauty surrounding you.Equipment
I use a Canon Rebel XS with a 18-55mm. No flash. No tripod.Inspiration
The lighting from the Sun about to set and the serenity & peace of driving country roads in the evening. Enjoying God's Creation.Editing
I may have done a little minor tweeking of the photo but this was one of my lucky shots that I didn't have to do much except cropping. Once in a while I get one of those.In my camera bag
In my bag is my Canon Rebel XS with a 18-55mm lens & a 75-300mm zoom lens. I also have a micro lens & cleaning kit. A tripod & my batteries & charger.Feedback
Lighting is important. Sunrise and sunset (and just before & just after) you have terrific & pure lighting to take photos. That is my favorite times for taking photos. Also, I see something & go with my gut in an instant. I can be pretty spontaneous with my vision. Plus, have an appreciation & love for God's Creation. If you see it through His Eyes, you will enjoy what you're doing and catch that shot that is just magical to you and inspires others.
