Great mood.
I'm pleased you joined my challenge "The November 2020 Collection". Great, thanks, and let's hope it turns all right well for you. The competition is, as ever, very hard! That is this month especially the case, because VB approved the challenge for the gallery and extended the duration. Good luck.

Thank you. I understand. I cringe when they feature my challenge. They did on the one where I allowed 2 entries and had to open up each photo to see if they provided what I was looking for. You are in the same boat. I will be thinking of you...

Location
This photo was taken on an early morning walk through Yellowstone Park's Old Faithful Geyser Basin.Time
As the sun rose! It was a harrowing walk along the boardwalk as it was covered with front and extremely slippery. But the photos I got were worth the effort. What a magnificently different place to photograph with the mist, steam, fog and smoke from the western fires when I took this.Lighting
Natural light with adjustments for highlights.Equipment
I used my Nikon Z7ii with my Nikkor 24-70 mm lens. I carried my tripod but did not use it on this particular shot.Inspiration
Everywhere I looked on this walk I was inspired. As I went so early in the morning there were only 2-3 people out ahead of me so I was pretty much able to shoot whatever and wherever I chose with no interruptions. I did have to wait for a buffalo to move on as I had no intentions of challenging him.Editing
Normal post processing such as adjustments for lighting, saturation, highlights, contrast and cropping.In my camera bag
I always have my Nikon Z7ii camera and my everyday lens which is a Nikkor 24-70 mm. An extra battery always resides in my bag as well. Depending on what I intend to shoot I might add a different lens and tripod. I usually travel pretty light for everyday shooting. If going to shooting with a group all day I will carry a larger bag with more accessories but on a whole you won't see me with that much equipment.Feedback
Lighting is key. Morning light or evening light usually gives you the best photos. By 9:00 a.m. I was back at my starting point as the 'magic' had disappeared for me.
