Location
The photo was taken on a road trip to Western Queensland. We were cruising down the highway and I saw it ambling on the side of the road. After some quick manoeuvring, we pulled over and spent about 10-15 minutes watching it and taking photos.Time
The photo was taken in the afternoon of an Outback Queensland winter day.Lighting

All I can suggest is just to get out there and have fun. The more you practice, the better you get.
