Location
I took this picture when I was riding as a passenger down Route 43 outside of Albany NY. It is a very windy stretch of highway and holds many memories for me. Everything about this picture and time seemed right.Time
I took this picture as dusk was beginning to fall. In the area where I took this picture it is not easy to get such a shot. However being a passenger and with my phone in hand I knew that if I blinked I would miss this amazing dusky golden hour. I was so happy that I was able to capture it.Lighting
The lighting was all natural. I knew it was a now or not at all shot. I love the fact that nature provided exactly what I needed for this photo.Equipment
No lie here. The only “camera equipment “ I had at the time was my iPhone and a rolled down window on the passenger side lol. I was actually able to capture it while my husband was driving,I was hanging partly out the window and getting looked at crazily which made it an even better shot. As an added bonus I was able to hold on to my phone lolInspiration
This is one of my favorite stretches of road and it was a beautiful sky ahead.I could feel the warmth of the memories..Editing
I did notIn my camera bag
It depends. Sometimes I might just have my iPhone other times I have my canon and all its accessories plus about 3 different tripods of different sizes.Feedback
When you see the beauty or a memory in the making don’t hesitate go with your gut and don’t spend a bunch of time attempting the perfect shot. The beauty you see will be captured for you!
