Behind The Lens

Location

This mighty oak is in our front yard here in rural Arkansas.

Time

This was taken in the late afternoon, so the lighting is all natural.

Lighting

The lighting is all natural.

Equipment

This was shot on my Galaxy S9 smartphone!

Inspiration

We LOVE this tree and what its age and steadfastness symbolize. Snow here has become somewhat rare, so I did not want to miss the opportunity to capture this image.

Editing

I did very little processing other than cropping.

In my camera bag

Honestly, most of my photos are taken with my Samsung Galaxy S9, but I also carry a Nikon Coolpix 500, several filters, tripods, spare batteries, and a remote shutter release.

Feedback

Be patient and observant! The more photos I take, the more shots "reveal" themselves to me. It's like I view the world from the perspective of a viewfinder. I like to look for unusual perspectives and juxtapositions--not just the obvious shots. Good luck!
