Location
This photo was taken at Split Rock Lighthouse State Park in Minnesota walking down the long wood stairs to get to the Lake Superior shoreline.Time
Photo was taken at 11:30 AM in a cloudy dayLighting
A winter storm was aproaching and I got lucky with a clear of clouds spot in the sky that allowed for some interesting light break thru the trees and provide some highlights to the stairs. It was all natural light.Equipment
Nikon D500 with AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-80mm f/2.8-4E ED VR No tripod and no flashInspiration
I always try to get a good picture in the same spot, but having good lighting and a clear sky with some drama is always a challenge. I guess I was in the right place at the right time!Editing
Did some work in Lightroom, reduced highlights on the sky and over all shadows. Also increased vibrance to boost colors.In my camera bag
I'm an enthusiastic photographer, I don't have many equipment, I carry the Nikon D500 with the NIKKOR 16-80mm and NIKOR 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G in case I see wild life along the way.Feedback
My best recommendation is the be patient, enjoy the moment, the place and the inspiration will kick in! I think that is one of benefits of photography.
