It was the first day of deer season. My work in home health care took me to many rural locales. I always had my camera next to me in my car. As I was leaving my last patient's home for the day, I saw these two men walking home from their hunt.

Behind The Lens

Location

I was a home care speech therapist. I had just finished my last visit for the day, in rural Newaygo County, Michigan.

Time

It was very early evening, time of the long shadows and golden light.

Lighting

The light was very two-toned. Near me was a beautiful shaded canopy of tall oaks, boughs stretching and intermingling on both sides of the road. Beyond it was an open realm of bright golden sun, with signs of early autumn in the light.

Equipment

My trusty Canon PowerShot SX50 HS always travels in the van with me. It's long lens is always equal to the task.

Inspiration

I was inspired to take this photo by the light. It seemed the perfect way to convey my perception of Newaygo County: partly striding boldly into the future, partly holding to ways of the past.

Editing

No post processing was done.

In my camera bag

My bag is a small one. I carry my camera, of course, and it's manual. I carry extra batteries and an extra card. I also have a small lens cleaning kit. Separately, I keep a monopod and tripod in the cargo area of my van.

Feedback

Be awake to the day, and open to possibilities in the world around you. You never know where or when your next exciting photo scene will appear!
