Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken somewhere off the interstate between Iowa and Nebraska.

Time

Just after sunset. Gotta love golden hour!

Lighting

Golden hour is great!

Equipment

Sony A7, no tripod.

Inspiration

My Italian husband had come to visit my family in Nebraska for the first time and wanted to take a road trip because he had never seen the midwest before. So we drove around on and off the interstate from Nebraska to South Dakota one afternoon.

Editing

Not much. Perhaps a bit of saturation.

In my camera bag

Sony A7, two lenses (just got the camera so still building my arsenal), tripod, hot shoe flash. Don't forget extra batteries!

Feedback

Try to have your shutter open longer rather than setting the ISO higher. High ISOs can cause the photo to look grainy.
