Location
I took the photo in a park in Palencia, Spain, where I live. I love going with my camera to other cities and spend two or three days discovering the whole city.Time
I went there at 6.00pm but the sun was high and I sat under a tree on the dried leaves and I started reading a book. Then I noticed that it was going dark and I looked at the sky and I saw this beautiful sunset.Lighting
I had began taking photos a few weeks ago so I was trying to experiment with my camera, lens and filters. First I took the photo with an Hoya r72 infrared filter which allowed me to see clearly the sky but I didn't like it and I take a few shots without filters. It suddenly went dark and I had not take the photo I was loking for.Equipment
I was a begginer and I used to carry everything with me but I relised that I didn't need everything I for these time I just got my heavy tripod and my camera and a wide angle lens because I wanted to take photos at night and at the sunset and I thought it was perfect.Inspiration
That day I had been watching many amazing photos of some profesional photographers who had many photos but I liked so much photos of sunsets and I decided to went out and find my perfect sunset. I´ve learned photography reading articles throught internet and watching other's photos so before I went out I read some advices to take my photo and I went to do it.Editing
As I have said I took some photos with an infrared filter and some other without it and I realised that the composition of one infrared photo was perfect but in other of the photos that I've taken without filter had perfect colours. When I went back home that night I began to learn how combine these photos and I get this photo as final result.In my camera bag
Right now I'm going on long trips by car and I carry almost everything in the car but for short trips or hiking I just take my Nikon 7200 and a pair of lens, my tokina 11-16 wide angle which I love, and a nikkor 18-105. I usually play with long expositions so I have to carry my heavy tripod and some filters.Feedback
You will learn that the perfect photography is anywhere but sometimes you will not see it, or just being lucky. When I go out, I look fast on everything but, having pacience when I take every photo. To grow as photographer just read about, learn from others, try new things and then share it with others to get advice and learn of it.
