really nice capture. I love the way the trees form a tunnel. Did you do HDR to open up the shadows or is there that much light under the trees?

Location
I took this photo on the big Island of Hawaii on Kalapana-Kapoho Road. My friend & I were there on vacation, & I told her to stop so I could get a few shots of the amazing trees lining the road.Time
This was taken sometime in the afternoon on May 9, 2011 while driving around sight-seeing.Lighting
I think the filtered lighting from the sun shining through the trees worked well.Equipment
At the time of this photo, I had a Canon EOS 7D camera. I used my trusty Canon EF 24-70 mm zoom lens set at 24mm to get this shot. This iso was 100, aperture 3.5, shutter speed 1/50.Inspiration
We were driving along sight-seeing, and I saw these amazing trees growing over the road. All the green was vibrant! I told my friend to stop so I could get a few shots. This one turned out the best in my opinion.Editing
The only post-processing I did was to increase the saturation in Aperture.In my camera bag
At the time this photo was taken I had a Canon EOS 7D body, Canon EF 24-70 f/2.8 lens, and Canon EF 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 lens. I kept it in a Lowepro backpack. Now I've added a few more lenses to my arsenal: Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8 lens, and Canon Macro EF 100mm lens. I have a Canon EOS 80D body now. I have a Sirui tripod with a Manfrotto ball head that I absolutely love!Feedback
My advice is to get out there & explore, and take the time to stop when you see something beautiful or that interests you. Also, lighting either makes a photo amazing, or not. The best time to photograph beautiful landscapes is early in the morning, or in the evening.
