We were on a Sunday trip @ Seven Sisters, UK when I spot this tree, which just purely represents the loneliness. The place is extremely windy the most of time hence this tree has this shape.
Also if you look around you can see how dry is the grass around.

Location
This photo was taken at Seven Sisters Country Park in South-East England. It is a popular place for a number of outdoor activities and taking photos as well. We were on a Sunday picnic with my girlfriend, when I did spot this tree on our way for having a sit somewhere.Time
It was a sunny afternoon, with almost no clouds on the sky. It was really hot, almost too hot for April. Also it was really dry as we have not had a rain for long time. And it was really windy though. The photo was taken at 15:22 regarding the Exif file. :)Lighting
The lighting condition was not so ideal as it was really bright, I do prefer early hours or just before the sunset. Although did manage to make a good picture using a circular polarize filter.Equipment
This photo was made with my Canon EOS 400D one of my very first DSLR camera. Just have bought couple of days before this photo was taken. So I thought why not to take with me to the picnic. The lens were the original 18-55 mm kit lens, which came with the camera. Funny thought that my best shoot were taken with a kit equipment, which is not even semi-professional. So now it is clear that photography is not about to having the best equipment, but to catch a moment like this. Also have used a polarize filter. No other equipment were involved.Inspiration
I am always having amazed by the nature which can create incredibly shapes and textures. As a regular walker and hiker I have seen amazing forests, rocks and mountains and I can really lost in details sometimes just to watching those shapes. Most of my pictures are connected to the nature.Editing
About post processing I just had some very basic modifications which were a part of my Canon software pack. This includes light Contrast, Saturation,Shadow, Highlight and White Balance settings.In my camera bag
Well, as I camping, walking and hiking a lot I am try to be very lightweight with my kit. Right now I am having a Canon EOS 40D camera with a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens as a basic walk around lens, also having a Sigma 105 mm f/2.8 for the macro pictures. Some filter, also having a tripod but just carry only when it is really necessary. Everything is packed in a Lowe Alpine camera bag.Feedback
As I mentioned above it is not really what kind of kit you having, but to keep your eyes open and notice the beauty of the nature. Although some filter could be handy. And if you walking on an open space like this just be prepared for the wind, it could be really windy.
