I took this photo at Chez Tu-Mousse Maple sugar bush near Papineauville, Quebec. I liked the rust and thought it was a good contrast from the weathered wood I did. Bit of manipulation to have the rust pop out more. The textures and wood grain really stand out

Location
The photograph was taken at La Cabane à sucre Chez Ti-Mousse in Papineauville, Quebec, Canada . The barrel was outside a bulding used to boil down sap to make maple syrup. The sugar bush has been with the same family for over a century.Time
Apprioximately 7:00 pm eastern standard time on April 22, 2017. This was within a few weeks of recieving the camera that was a gift from family.Lighting
The photograph was taken in the evening. The sun was coming in from the west. I was kneeling south facing the barrel which was north of my position by a few feet. This is natural sun light. No modifiers or diffusers.Equipment
The camera I use is the Nikon D3400 which I recieved as a gift at the end of February 2017. The Lens is the Nikkor AF-S 18-55mm f:/3.5-5.6G kit lens at 46mm. f:5.3 1/60 second ISO 800.Inspiration
I was walking around the3 site with family, and saw a lot of interesting subjects that had textures. I wanted to capture this image because of the rust and the old cracked wood on the aged barrel.Editing
I tweaked the contrast, exposure, saturation of colours, exaggrated the sharpness, contrast and other parts of the image to get this effect. I wanted to bring out the textures and how weathered the barrel is.In my camera bag
