Location
This was taken in a local forest where I frequently walk. Each season of the year brings different light and colours which I try to capture in my photography.Time
I usually try and get into the forest as early as possible especially in the autumn when there is a mist drifting through the trees. This photograph was taken as I was leaving the forest. I looked back and saw the man and his dog. The light was fantastic and I set up the camera on the tripod and took a series of photos.Lighting
The sun was lancing through the trees with soft diffused light.Equipment
This was shot with a Nikon 7500 with a 150-600 Sigma lens mounted on a tripod.Inspiration
I love light especially early morning autumn light. You have the combination of the trees with their golden leaves together with lovely often fractured sunlight.Editing
I shoot in raw. I did some post-processing in Lightroom and I cropped the photo slightly.In my camera bag
In my camera bag on early morning shoots I have my Nikon 7500, 18-24 wide-angle lens, 35mm prime lens, 55-300mm Zoom lens and finally my Sigma 150-600mm. I always try to keep the ISO as low as possible and therefore always try to shoot on a tripod unless the sun is brighter and I can get away with hand-held shots. I always bring a spare battery and lens cloth and spare memory cards.Feedback
A lot of photography is trial and error. I tend to take a lot of shots in the hope that I will stand more chance of getting the right photo. I often bracket my exposures for the same reason.
