Location
'Pont Pen-y-benglog' along the A5 in North Wales. The old bridge has now gone and been renewed.Time
Taken about 30 - 40 minutes before sunsetLighting
Taken in September, sun setting already hidden from camera by mountainsEquipment
Fuji Finepix S3Pro, Nikon 18-105mm VR DG Kit lens, No flash, Vintage tripod...Inspiration
I was just captured by the light as the sun was going down and the clear air following a shower earlier, desperate to find a good image composition I took to the path quickly finding a fantastic well weathered wooden bridge, I knew that had to be the subject for the image so I had a quick scout for the best angle. This image inspired me to take my hobby forward.Editing
No post processing, but in camera settings were applied for colour, tone and sharpness.In my camera bag
I now have a Nikon D800 as my main camera with a Nikon D7000 as backup, an array of lenses but a couple of favorites...

Plan to have plenty of time on location, visit the site prior if you can, if not use google earth to check out direction of sunrise and sunset also any images already taken from location. Arrive early, take your time planning where your going to take your shots from, what equipment you need at each point, the light changes so fast you DON'T want to miss out. Have a backup camera set-up and ready to go. After shoot sit back and enjoy the moment.
