Location
This photo was taken at one of my favourite places in the world Tollymore Forest Park Newcastle Northern IrelandTime
This was taken at around 11am in DecemberLighting
I wanted to capture as much light as possible so I waited for the ideal time of day when the sun shines through the treesEquipment
For this shot I used my Nikon D3400 with my standard 18-55mm lens and a tripod with a Hoya Pro ND 1000 filterInspiration
I have been coming here for as long as I can remember with my parents and my grandparents and I have always wanted to capture the beauty of this place and try to get an image to represent how I feel about this place.Editing
I use lightroom for post processing which helps to bring out the colours and really showcase the image. I try to keep my images as natural as possible so I mainly change the saturation and contrastIn my camera bag
I like to be prepared for everything when I go out so I normally have a telephoto lens and also a macro with filters and tripod and definitely a few extra batteriesFeedback
The best advice I can give is to be patient and spend time in your chosen location to see where the best angle is before you take anything and use the light any way you can.
