Location
I took this picture while driving along a country road about 5 miles from my house. I was frustrated by my day, grabbed my camera and took off.Time
This was taken at sunset but I don't remember the exact time. Maybe 2000 (8pm).Lighting
Natural light as I was looking into the sun. But I edited it down a little. Took out ~30% light, added ~80% color (for some pop), ~30% clarity.Equipment
I used a Canon EOS T6 with my Canon EF 28-55mm lens. I think. Hand held as I didn't take the time to set up a tripod.Inspiration
I just thought it looked like something cute. And I liked the sun coming through the trees.Editing
I always do a little editing before I post my pictures. Generally all I do is edit it down a little. Took out ~30% light, added ~80% color (for some pop), ~30%In my camera bag
Always have my Canon EOS T6, a 18-55mm, 70-300mm and a 420-800mm lens in my bag. I carry extra batteries and a car charger so I can recharge my batteries while I am driving. Sometimes I add in my bag of filters but only if I actually plan a shoot. Most of my pictures are spur of the moment.Feedback
Just get out there and shoot. Don't worry about the details. The best photographers out there throw away 75% of their shots. Always... ALWAYS, carry your camera with you. You never know what will strike you as picture worthy!
