Location
I took this photo on a small town called Oracle, Arizona. It's about 30 minutes north of Tucson. It was shot in an abandoned log in the center of town.Time
I don't really like using any flashes, so I try to capture all my images with natural light. For this specific shot was taken before and during the sun was setting.Lighting
When I shoot I like to have a uniform light across my subject. Another key thing for me is not shooting when light is too harsh or strong.Equipment
I used a Nikon D3200 with the stock 18-55mm lenses.Inspiration
This photo is of my best friend and we grew up in this small town. We are now off in college and have both grown up a lot over the past few years. This shot was to capture where we came from and where we are now.Editing
All I like to do with my photos is to bring out he color out just a little bit. While making sure the contrast isn't too strong.In my camera bag
I always carry my polarized lenses cap and my tripod at all times.Feedback
Make sure that you don't leave out any detail. We sometimes get the subject in the perfect light but we forget about the background.
