Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken along Singledge Lane in Whitfield. (UK) It overlooks a field that runs parallel with the A2 .Time
Taken as the sun was setting it gave a great silhouette to the trees.Lighting
It was just a case of right time, right place.Equipment
It was taken on a Nikon D3100 with 18-55mm kit lens.Inspiration
I walk down this road quite a bit as it leads to a wood at the end so I see this all the time and happened to be there just as the sun was setting over the trees.Editing
There was some HDR involved to a degree. I copied the image to give me the 3 shots. Adjusted the exposure to 4 stops. It merged them together and when I pressed 'Tone mapping" this was the result so did nothing more to it.In my camera bag
Nowadays I have a Nikon D3300, 18-135, 50mm, and a 70-300mm lens. Various filters including polariser and circular ND filter.Feedback
Get to know your surroundings. This was taken within a 20 minute of where I lived. Try different times of day for different lighting.
