Location
This photo was taken in a apple orchid on MaineTime
This was early October, It was very cold and windy. All of sudden a snow squawl came up from seems like nowhere. Being that fall colors were still great and the fallen tree with the Raven just added to the photo.The Storm was very intense for about five minutes really not a long time to take photos.Lighting
The lighting was tough because of Sunlight mixed with intense Snow. This is not a composite photo. Single shot only. I had only 3 photos or so to choose to process.Equipment
No time for setup, this was a "Grab Shot" I use Sony Cameras with Sigma lens. No Flash. Camera was set on manual mode. Lens was a 300mm, subject was aprox 75yards.Inspiration
With the Quick storm, fallen trees and the Raven added to this Surreal oppertunity for a photo. If you look deeper into the picture differnt things start to appear. You can see a fleeing horse in the background. Also, the Raven seems to be setting on a hand of bones.Editing
This Photo is almost right out of the Camera, just a little color intensity was added. Photo was cropped a little from side to side.In my camera bag
With this trio to the Farm just my Sony Camera and a 28-300mm lens.Feedback
Photo oppertunities are all around us. Lot's of folks don't like to venture out in adverse weather at all. For me it's the best time. trying looking at what's not the subject but whats around it. sometimes backgrounds are just as important for a grat picture.
