What Type of Camera and/or Lenses Did You Use?
I used a Nikon D90. I shot it at F11, 1/500, and ISO 250. I used an 18-270 Tamron lens at 46mm.
What Was the Weather Like? What Was the Lighting Like?
The weather was crisp, and the sun was in and out. I used a low ISO and also used a tripod. I shot it on aperture priority and, because the sun was in and out, the shutter speed kept changing, so the tripod was necessary for a clear shot, because I wanted to get a decent depth of field.
Advice
- I could have used a lower ISO with this photo.
If You Remember, What Were the Camera's Settings?
I shoot in RAW, so I went back to the bridge, and the exact settings were F11, 1/500, ISO 250, and 18-270 @ 46mm.
What Type of Planning Was Needed to Set Up This Photo?
A walk through the woods with my camera ready to go.
