This sits on the side of SR 40, in Jensen Utah! I’m sure it has significant historical value, but I have no idea what it is, so I’ll just go with “cool old cabin”.

Location
I’ve been driving past this cabin for years. Made a trip just for a photo of it! It sits right next to Highway 40, in Jensen Utah.Time
The drive is all of 15 minutes from home, arrived at about 2:30 PM, natural light was perfect. Beautiful day!Lighting
I wanted the sun behind me, so I could give attention to the details of the cabin, and to light up the mountains of Split Mountain behind!Equipment
Shot with a Cannon EOS Rebel T7 EF-S 18-55 mm lens.Inspiration
Now it gets weird! I was born, right here, not in the cabin, but in a car on the side of the highway! Right here plus or minus a hundred yards! The cabin itself has a history! It was not born here, but atop the mountain in the background behind the power pole, and moved here! How’d they do that?Editing
Minimal post-processing. Added a little contrast and clarity to help bring out the detail of the cabin. And added a little to saturation and vibrance help make the mountains in the background more noticeable. Cropped out the highway.In my camera bag
I have my Cannon Rebel with me almost all the time, and of course my iPhone. If you want to capture the moment, use what you’ve got.Feedback
If you’ve read this far, you know I’m new at photography, not comfortable with self-taught, because I’m still learning. The resources available are endless. My advise, Take the shot, with what, isn’t important starting out! Play with editing tools, and study the art of photography, a little bit at a time! I started with the rule of thirds. When you learn a new basic, start trying to work it into your technique! When you get fairly consistent in application of one, move on to another, I figure I need about 20 more years to really achieve the quality I see from my mentors here! Until perfection is reached, “Take the shot!”
