I remember this park when I was a little boy. I have not been there for about 35 years and finally when I came to the park after the long time then I took many shoots there of course. I've been surprised the trees are not so big in fact as I remember them when I was a child. But most of the trees are still on their places. I love this park, it's a part of my young life)Editing
I corrected a little bit "Gamma" parameter onlyIn my camera bag
My regular bag for travel: Canon 5D Mark III camera with lens EF24-105F4.0 lens + polaroid filter for summer sky and sea shooting + extra battery and some items for cleaning. Sometime I also take portrait lens 50F1.2 which is extra useful for night portraits. I used tripods and monopods before but after I got lens with stabilizer I noticed I need this heavy equipment very rare, just for special kind of shooting. I also use flash sometime but mostly for interior shooting at poor natural light. Actually I love natural light in phtography.Feedback
First of all you must be inspired by the place you are shooting. Landscape photographer must have a "good eye" to notice interesting and splendid objects in environment. Admire the landscape, feel its beauty. Important: you have to know exactely what will be the main idea of your shoot and what can be the best way to realize it. Then choose the best point of view, try a number and compare. Try different distances and different camera options. Remember: sometime you can get just one "masterpiece" from 30 or more shoots of the same object.
