Morning, around 10Lighting
I took this on the way to a hike in the Adirondacks. The light peeked through the clouds, spotlighting the tree.Equipment
Pentax k30 with 18mm lensInspiration
My family and I were on the way to hike in the Adirondacks and we spotted this lonely tree in the middle of the field. This was one of those rare moments you look for--dramatic clouds and a little warm sunlight peeking through at just the right time to expose the subject.Editing

For sunny pictures, it's better to under expose a little because it's easier to fix dark photos than blown out areas of overexposure.
