Great subject matter and composition needs human or animal in the distance focal point maybe?

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was a "stop the car!" kind of moment. Touring my daughter's new school where she is a teacher in Maryland, USA, I spotted this tree lined fence with the most beautiful display of autumn foliage I'd ever seen. Everywhere you looked, you saw these gorgeous tones and arrays of oranges, golds and greens.

Time

This image was taken around 4 PM ET.

Lighting

The lighting was perfect. There isn't a high sun at this time of day and year on the mid-east coast of the USA. The sun had been shining brightly all day and as the sun was beginning to set on this end of October day, the air was crisp and cool. A perfectly perfect Autumn day I will forever remember.

Equipment

My handy Nikon D3300 with my 200mm Nikon lens was used in this shoot. No tripod was used, as I was shooting freely all day with the kids at the Halloween party. I was down on my knees shooting this shot.

Inspiration

Look at it! Who wouldn't want to capture this beauty? I mean the entire air was aglow from all of the vibrant fall colors. The air was so fresh, smelled like fall, someone had a fire in a fireplace going, and my grandson was smiling ear to ear watching me from inside the car in his carseat take this shot. My daughter was driving and graciously stopped and safely pulled over to allow me to capture this moment.

Editing

I used PhotoShop for my post-processing. There wasn't much I had to do with this image to improve it. It truly was one of those images where you just knew you captured something special. The perspective I was attempting to capture succeeded (for once). There was some dodge and burning in the process. The colors were brought out a bit to highlight the areas of light coming through that didn't get captured since I was on the ground in the shade.

In my camera bag

My bag usually has both my Nikon D7500 and D3300 along with my Nikon 40mm Macro Lens, Nikon 200mm Lens, Nikon 55mm Lens, and my Nikon 140mm Lens (my absolute favorite lens for D7500). Tripod, the usual cleaning supplies and I like carrying around a few things to play with if the occasion arises, such as a crystal lens ball, copper pipe for capturing that ring of fire, a small mirror to capture animals expressions or when you need a cool reflection, and don't ever leave without my squeaker to capture kids and animal's attention when needed. I don't use filters - so those would take up space I use for my playing around items.

Feedback

Just capture it how you want to remember it. You know what you want to remember, shoot it. Make it yours. And, never, ever pass up a moment to tell a driver to "STOP!", I need to take a picture of that.
