This house was one of the first built in 1906, this area that was originally called Herbert Idaho now known as Rexburg. I have enjoyed photographing this area over the last seven years, this is the first time I have been able to do it in the winter.

Location
This photo was taken south east of my homeland known as Rexburg Idaho. This is a home from the early 1900’s built on their farmland.Time
This photo was captured between 3pm-4pm.Lighting
Lighting was diffused due to the thick clouds, which also helped with contrast. One advantage that helped with the lighting was having the ground covered with snow.Equipment
This photo was captured using a Canon 1D Mark II camera with a Canon 24-70 L series lens. Tripod used for stability, Meter reading taken from the roof of the house as it was closest to neutral grey (aka 18%).Inspiration
The contrast of the clouds caused me to stop and compose the image. Also, the size comparison of the house and the large white cloud to the left also strengthened the composition.Editing
The only two post-processing techniques used were the curves adjustment to decrease highlights that were to bright and adding a little contrast.In my camera bag
In my bag I have two camera bodies, three lenses: 100macro, 24-70 2.8, 80-200 2.8, extra batteries, wireless and wired shutter release accessory, flash with diffuser, light meter, a blower to clean censor, lens cleaner liquid and lens clothe, tripod mounts, battery chargers and extra memory cards.Feedback
If you’re looking to capture a moment like this my first suggestion is waiting for the ideal lighting for me ideal lighting for outside is between sunrise and 11am or 3pm and 30min after sunset. Look for composition that will lead the viewer into the photo, this can also be done through contrast. If possible, always use a tripod. In this type setting when it comes to metering I always meter off something white and adjust shutter speed so it’s over exposed by 1-3/4 stops. As for white balance I use a lens filter that allows me to create custom white balance that the camera will then use.
