Location

I took this photo at a farm just outside southwestern Calgary called Canadian Rocky Mountain Ranch.

Time

This photo was taken early to mid morning in the dead of winter, so just after the sun rose

Lighting

There's something to be said about experiencing the peaceful serenity of nature. Just taking time to stop everything, stand by for a while, and just watch how nature just is. How effortless it is, calming, and pure.

Equipment

I used my old Canon EOS TXI with my 55-250mm 5.6 lens. Pretty basic for an easy morning shoot!

Inspiration

The fact he just took a few moments out of his routine to watch the animals coming and going, and how rarely people actually do that... I took this shot in hopes of inspiring people to just stop for a few minutes in their day to just detach, look around with an open mind, and with the view of an awe inspired child for the simple things in life.

Editing

Not for this one. It was one of the few that the natural light came through exactly as I'd wanted.

In my camera bag

Battery charger, 18-55mm 5.6 lense, my new Canon EOS 70D and 55-250mm 5.6 lens

Feedback

Take every opportunity you can. Sometimes you have to be patient and watch. Remember to always be primed and ready. And if you can manage to line things up in one shot instead of taking numerous then take that extra time to line things up. Sometimes taking numerous shots can be a good thing, other times, you need to take things slower, take your time, and only take a single shot or two if needed.
