Location
While hiking the Sentinel Trail in Drakensberg - South AfricaTime
Close to noon.Lighting
It was partly overcast, I had to wait for a little bit of sun to break through.Equipment
Canon EOS 500D.Out of hand with EF-S 55-250mm lens.Inspiration
When hiking past this area, I knew I had to take some time here. This is not a viewpoint photo I've seen before. It is off the normal trail, and one have to take some risk with the snakes around.Editing
Converted form colour to monochrome in Lightroom.In my camera bag
When I go hiking on a tough trail like this, I only take the body and the lens of choice.Feedback
First thing is, you have to get out there! I am lucky in a sense that I live relatively close to some awesome places. Do hiking or game drives with professional guides if you are a "rookie".You do not need expensive equipment! Practise more and choose the right moments for whatever equipment you have.
