Location
The photograph was taken on County Road 62 also know as Wauchula Road. Hillsborough county Florida.Time
There were seven metered photographys taken around 1700 or 5 PM.Lighting
There was a storm moving very fast into the area. My intent was to capture the cloud movement and catch the light in between the clouds.Equipment
I used a Nikon D -800 with a 16-35mm 1:4 ED Nikon lens with a ND8 filter along with a UV filter mounted on a tripod using a wireless shutter remoteInspiration
A friend of mine that's teaching me Lightroom, Photoshop and HDR imaging photographed this abandon homestead and told me I should photograph it.Editing
HDR landscape photos take a lot of post proccesing. The photos were imported into Lightroom were Metadata was added along with lens correctons and removed chromantic aberration. Than exported to Photoshop 2015.5 and combine in NIK collection HDR Efex Pro 2. It was futher processed in Efex Pro and than sent back to Lightroom to check for shadow and highlight clipping which I adjusted. The last step was to Denoise in Topaz Denoise 6 v6.0.1.In my camera bag
Camera, 4 extra battries, wireless remote with extra battries, tripod, lens brush, 16-35mm, 70-300mm, 4 64gb memory cards, Goodman liveview magnifer, Glotto airblaster, battend chargers, and camera manual just in case.Feedback
Scout with Google or ask folks a great place to shoot landscapes. Pick the right time with the best light. Use a TRIPOD and a remote shutter release! Say it three times! ND filter if there's movement in the scene. Use the lowest ISO for your camera. Make sure you shoot an odd nuber of photos so you have over/under and a perfect exposed photo. Example take 3,5,7,9 etc. Shot manual mode with centered metering. Your photos should tell a story about you and whats important in your life.
