Location
This photo was taken at one of my favorite local parks.Time
Around mid-day, my daughter and I would go take photos of the same places throughout the year and I just happened to see this shot by chance. Since showing it to people who have lived in Spokane, it seems everyone knows "the place" already. It just took me a while to discover it, I guess.Lighting
I just took a bare shot, no flash - au naturale.Equipment
I believe I took this with an old Canon Sure Shot I used to have, and that's it.Inspiration
It simply just caught my eye as I was driving by, so I got out real quick to take it. The contrast of the snow on the archway and the depth I saw looking through to the fountain looked incredible.Editing
I only remember cropping out a sign and background distractions, so the remaining photo itself is low-res.In my camera bag
Canon PowerShot SX510 HSFeedback
I got lucky with the lighting and the fact that my subject matter didn't move. I would have also liked to have thought more about it in advance and cropped from the camera, not from Photoshop. Planning isn't helpful if you don't come to location prepared.
