Location
This photo was taken in the Blue Ridge Parkway of North Carolina 2015Time
This was late afternoon; I had taken a day trip to the mountains to do some 'leaf peeping'. I pulled over to an overlook area and took the photo looking down the road.Lighting
This was edited with Photoshop to enhance the colors.Equipment

I love nature, especially fall in the mountains. The beautiful red, orange, yellow and green colors just pop out and make for creative photographs.Editing

I also Carry a canon 100mm Macro lens. 3 tripods of various sizes; a polarized lens; Neewer DSLR Camera Shutter Release Wired LCD Timer Remote Control Intervalometer Time-lapse Photography Device, a ring light for macro photography, and an extension tube.Feedback
Take multiple photos, dont just rely on one or two photos. If you find beautiful scenery take a lot of photos at different angles, know your lenses and the settings that work best for the type of photograph you are trying to take. You can spend a lot of money on software to edit your photos, but if you are just starting out there are free and/or cheap versions that do well too. You will find that either a monopod or a tripod will be your best friend, to keep from lens shake ruining your photo.
