Location
I took this photo near Yelloestone Park in Montana, U.S.A.Time
It was on a beautiful April afternoon. The low sun still had warmth enough to turn this back road to mud.Lighting
The light was about to turn that late day gold as I scanned the scene before me' The low sun created some shadow along the ditches enhansing the road.Equipment
I was useing my Nikon D-200. I put on the Tamron 28 to 280 mm zoom to pull in the mountains and shorten the road into the foreground.Inspiration
I was looking for a place where I could use the zoom to try to depict that broad Montana plains in one defining shot.Editing
No, I hardly ever do post processing. If I don't like it out of the box -- no show.In my camera bag
I am using both a Nikon D 200 and D 2000. There will be a couple fixed lenses, the zoom along with a few filters, flash light and cleaning tools. Of course extra batteries and assorted cords. Always pencil and paper, eh.Feedback
If someone wants to try this a telephoto or zoom lens to at least 240mm is a must. Tri-pod is a big help if you don't have a few steadying tricks up your sleave. A better than passing mark in film speed, arpeture, time and knowledge of your own equipment will be good agents for success.
