Beautiful composition, pretty light and I love the lone empty bench waiting for someone. Nice gallery with wonderful use of light.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at Homer Lake Forest Preserve in the small, rural town of Homer, Illinois.

Time

Sunset

Lighting

The beautiful light, swirling clouds, and colors of the sunset reflected on the water was absolutely perfect.

Equipment

I used my mirrorless Panasonic Lumix DMC-GX7.

Inspiration

The amazing light just drew me in and I had to capture this scene.

Editing

I used saturation and a few other effects to really bring out the details of the photo.

In my camera bag

My camera, two lenses, extra battery, and small lens cleaning kit.

Feedback

It can be a challenge to find scenery like this in the middle of farmlands in Central Illinois, but just spend the time and look around, it can be found.
