Location
I was walking down the road from my house to get to the bus stop. This is a neighbour's house. I've always admired their monkey puzzle tree as it reminds me of my grand aunt who was a strong and admirable woman.Time
It was late afternoon.Lighting
The lighting is what drew me to this image and made me take the picture. (See below)Equipment
Nothing much, just my Lumia phone's camera. Would have been nice to have had my Nikon on hand at the time.Inspiration
The way the sun appeared sort of nestled in the clouds caught my attention. The emphasis on the shape of the roof of the house and the silhouettes of the trees, I thought, made for an interesting layout.Editing
Nothing.In my camera bag
Just my phone that time. I've recently got a Nikon that I'm going to start using more.Feedback
It really was just a fluke occurrence. I couldn't have set it up to be that way. I think for getting pictures like this, just go with what looks nice or interesting to you and take a snap if you have your equipment. The sun's position in the sky is always changing, so are the clouds. I'd never be able to get that one again if I'd missed it. I've missed or let go of countless beautiful images because I didn't have even my phone on hand at the time. So getting pictures of things this transient is about being prepared and going with your own eyes.
