Murray Hill Scenic Overlook in Little Sioux, Iowa. A little ways off of I-35. Beautiful countryside.Time
Late afternoon, overcast sky with wind that cut right through my sweatshirt. Brr.Lighting
As I stated before, it was not a clear blue skies day. But, in my opinion, it doesn't always have to be sunny to be beautiful. I had enough light to see this view, and snap numerous photos. That's more than perfect to me.Equipment
You're going to crack up at this. I used the Samsung Galaxy S6 stock camera app to take this photo. Proof you don't need an expensive camera to capture feeling in your photos.Inspiration
This photo came about when I was traveling solo across state lines and I was, well.. honestly, I wasn't in the greatest of spirits. So I decided, to cheer myself up, I would stop at the nearest scenic overlook to have lunch. That scenic overlook was Murray Hill. Where, after an unexpected half mile hike up a 55° incline in ballet flats on a cold windy afternoon in Middle-of-Nowhere, USA., I took this photo.Editing
I used my go-to editing app, Pixlr, to raise the contrast and vibrancy a tad. But, honestly, not much at all.In my camera bag
I don't carry a bag. I'm a minimalist, my phone is all I need to get the shots I want :)Feedback
Have fun with it and don't overthink it! It may sound cheesy, but there no truer words; LET YOUR HEART LEAD. That's when you get emotion behind beautiful shots.
