Location
This scene is of the Matanuska Valley south of Palmer, Alaska. The scene shows King Mountain with the Matanuska River along with fall foliage of aspens. The river is fed by the Matanuska Glacier approximately 20 miles south. The overcast day along with the low clouds shows a typical fall day in Alaska.Time
Approximately mid afternoon.Lighting
The lighting was overcast which caused the fall colors to jump out.Equipment
Canon D60 with 55mm lens at f11. Hand heldInspiration
The colors contrasting with the mountain and the converging lines of the riverEditing
Very minimal in Photoshop to enhance contrast.In my camera bag
My typical travel camera & equipment. Canon D60, 18-135 and 135-250. ND4 & Polarizer, Canon Speedlight. Very simple. I am not one who carries 100# of equipment.Feedback
Be observant and compose carefully. Take several shots at different settings in manual mode. I like to underexpose by 1/2-2.
