Location
at the back of my brother's property at Oak Valley, Townsville - Australia.Time
some time during the afternoonLighting
There was a fire in the hills nearby and the smoke filled the atmosphere, covering the sun which gave off an unusual haze.Equipment
Canon EOS 7D Lens: EFS 15-85mm lens Camera Settings: f/8; 1/60 sec; ISO-100 no flash and no tripod was used to take photo.Inspiration
I love the scenic view from my brother's backyard, the smoke filled atmosphere created an ambient mood. Looking from a distance, the branch in the middle of the creek really stood out, portraying a mystic kind of feel about it.Editing
sharping, added contrast and slight saturation.In my camera bag
spare battery :)Feedback
I try to picture an image I want to create with an interesting perspective and subject to grabs one's attention ... I had to stumble over some rocks and lay down low in an awkward position to capture this shot, which was well worth it. Thanks for looking :)
