Behind The Lens
Location
This is in the country side on a drive between San Jose California and Turlock.Time
In the late morning I was driving from San Jose to Turlock CA for a funeral service for my wife's grandmother when I saw these gorgeous almond trees. I had just been taking a photography course and was learning about composition and saw that not only did the trees sort of frame the photo as a whole, but there were some really nice leading lines. I pulled over the side of the road and locked my camera on a tripod and started firing them off.Lighting
The lighting was overcast.Equipment
I used a Sony A7 II with the stock lens 28-70mm. I was on my Manfrodo tripod. No flashInspiration
The composition as covered above.Editing
Yes, I learned my post processing techniques from a close friend of mine, Serge Ramelli. He has a huge youtube following and his website is www.photoserge.com. The edits were done in Lightroom. I used HSL panel and some split-toning to change the green of the trees to a brown color, making it look like autumn. I used the radial filter and the brush to selectively pain light to specific places.In my camera bag
I used the Sony A7 II with the kit lens. I just ordered the 24-70mm f2.8 and I am pumped about that. I also have the 70-300mm in my bag. I use a Yung-noy speed light with the Gary Fong diffuser.Feedback
You have to keep your eye open ALWAYS! And learn your compositions. Mark Silber from Advance your photography just released a book called "The Secrets to creating amazing photos" which gives 83 composition tools so that you learn and use them. Most people look around and don't see how many AMAZING photos are in front of their faces. You have to open your eyes and you will see them, they are there.
