Location
This photo was taken in the Yosemite Valley in the woods to the side of the parking lot by the church.Time
This was taken at around 2:30 or so in the afternoon.Lighting
Lens flares! This picture was taken facing the sun in the afternoon so that the sun was peeking in through the trees.Equipment
This was shot on a Nikon D750 with a 1/800 shutter speed, f/4.5, ISO 125, and a lense length of 22mm.Inspiration
Using the sun is one of my favorite ways to take advantage of the afternoon lighting. I was hiking partially up into the woods and when I turned around I knew I had to capture this image.Editing
For this photo, I did not use any editing.In my camera bag
The first thing that I always have with me is my different lenses. The one I use the most is my 18-140mm lens (1:3.5-5.6). The second lens that I use the most is a 70-300mm lens (1:4.5-6.3). I also carry a Ultimax Studio Series HD 0.43x Wide Angle 58mm Lens (Macro). I also have a 58mm, 2.2x, Telephoto Lens. I do have a 500mm, f/8.0 Multi-Coated Telephoto Lens, but my bag is not very big so I usually only take it if I know I will be using it. All of my lenses have a UV filter on them to prevent scratches and fingerprints just in case. There items in my bag that I always carry in case, but I usually do not or rarely use them. These are an external flash, an attachable CPL Filter, and an FL-D Filter. I also carry a cleaning kit just in case.Feedback
If you see something that catches your eye, just go for it. Remember to watch your backgrounds and try to get closer to the object. This way there are no distractions from the subject. Also, do NOT be afraid to underexpose your images (just don't go too far, or they will be black).
