Location
This photo was taken in Frankenmuth, Michigan across the wooden covered bridge that spans the Cass River in downtown Frankenmuth.Time
I shot this image at approximately 11am. I had to try to catch the shot while there was no traffic coming across the bridge from either direction, and in the tourist town of Frankenmuth, late morning was as good a time as any to catch it!Lighting
The lighting was all ambient, and because of it being almost noon in the middle of July, the sun was high in the sky.Equipment
I took this shot hand-held with my Canon 80D fitted with my EF-S 10-18mm wide angle zoom set at 10mm focal length. I used ISO2000, f/11 to capture the "light at the end of the tunnel" without blowing the whole image out, and an exposure of 1/20s.Inspiration
I've always loved the geometric interior of this bridge, and I wanted to capture it showing the floor boards and other geometric elements leading to the light at the end.Editing
Yes, I used Luminar to post-process the image to enrich the colors a bit and crop the image.In my camera bag
I typically carry my Canon 80D with five lenses (Canon 50mm f/1.8, 10-18mm wide angle zoom, 18-55mm zoom, and 55-250mm zoom, and Tokina 100mm macro prime lens). I also have my Haida M10 pro filter holder with a 10-stop ND and 3-stop GND filter and circular polarizer. Of course, I always have my standard accessories like spare batteries, lens hoods, memory cards, etc., and I carry a Godox V860-II speedlight with MagMod Sphere & MagBeam flash modifiers with color gels and gobos.Feedback
My advice is always simple...soak up everything about where you are, and feel the story that starts to reveal itself about your subject and your surroundings. I'm always amazed that eventually a compelling story begins to emerge, and my job then becomes how best to capture that story. Sometimes that's easy to do, sometimes it's damn hard, and sometimes I'm not able to do it at all. It's those times that I just enjoy the story and the moment, and then later it drives me to get better at my craft so in the future I can perhaps succeed.
