In my shoot I will be using my SLR camara, the Nikon D90 fitted with the kit lens 18-105 f 3.5-5.6 ED VR. Before I leave I will charge my battery fully to ensure I have full battery power as I do not want to take a chance the battery going dead whilst out. I will take a spare 4GB memory card and my tripod. My lens is fitted with a lens hood which will prevent any light from directly striking the front element which is handy this time of year when the sun remains low in the sky. I would like to purchase a polarising filter in the future as when shooting landscapes and nature this can be a very useful piece of equipment. A polarising filter can be used to deepen the colour of the sky, but a far more useful application is it can reduce reflections from shiny foliage which leads to more saturated colours.
My work will not just consist of one shoot, or any practise shoots. As I have chosen the Theme Autumn so I will be going out on many sunny autumn days and then select the best images from those produced. I would like to take some sunrise and sunset shots but as my time is limited and we don't get too many opportunities in this country I will have to leave that to chance.
The reason I have chosen sunny days is because I really like sunny autumn days and the sun can be used as a good light source. The sun can be used to create interesting images with shadows and reflections and a blue sky always looks good in any image. As I will be shooting on sunny days I will set my ISO on 400 and adjust if needed. The ISO measures the sensitivity of the film to light.
