A beautiful red sun at sunrise on Navarre Beach????

I changed some of the color photos I took of my daughter into black and white to see how they would turn out.

My happy place. One of the many sunrises I love to shoot.

I love shooting old items out on our land in TX. I love the old details of the door and the blurred land in the background.

I love old bridges. This one is by our family home in TX.

One of our kittens. They are so curious of my camera. lol

This was at Arches National Park in Utah on a very hot day in July.

So much going on in this pic. The beautiful sandstone sculptures at Arches National Park in Utah with the beautiful mountains in the background touch

I photographed my son taking pics of the grafitti inside this old truck.

My daughter on top of a rock in Arches National Park in Utah.

I kept trying to catch the light as it spun around

I am visiting my children in Colorado. This was on one of our many hikes.

Behind The Lens

Location

This is on our family land in Brazoria, Texas. The sunrise view overlooking the pastures and old barns. These are our pecan trees. The land is just beautiful. With over twenty acres there is always something to shoot.

Time

This was taken at sunrise. Love the fog out in the pastures in the morning. Thought the airplane streak added an extra element to my shot.

Lighting

I prefer natural lighting. I love sunrise and sunset. I have an app on my phone that gives me times each day for golden hour. I have my camera with me a lot when on the land. We have twenty acres and all throughout the day I will capture so many beautiful pics with shadows and lighting depending on where the sun is.

Equipment

I shoot with a Canon 70D. I have a variety of lenses I switch off and on depending on what I am trying to capture. I prefer to be walking around so I do not use tripod. I love natural light and usually turn off the flash.

Inspiration

I am so in love with our family land. It is so inspirational for me to just spend the day out taking pictures and walking the pastures. It has been in the family for over 100 years. I just got back from a trip and in one week took over 1300 pictures. I have not posted any yet. I just see the shots as I am taking them. I trust my feelings when deciding which ones to edit and post. Recently I have been going through my folders of past trips and realizing I may have missed many other shots and need to edit them.

Editing

I edit all my pictures in Affinity Photo. I do not do much editing. I will brighten the pic and bring up the color a little. I do not like the editing process and admit I really do not know how to do very much. I prefer more natural pictures not over edited pics. I just want to be out shooting pictures. I wish they were easier to process.

In my camera bag

I have my Canon 70D and a variety of lenses. I just got the Sigma 600mm zoom lens and am having fun shooting with it.

Feedback

Just be up early. Watch for the lighting at different times of the day. I love early morning light and early evening light for color and shadows.
