Flying into Zanzibar airport in Stonetown, Zanzibar from Tanzania Africa. Me, my wife, son and daughter-in-law had just completed a fantastic photo safari in Tanzania Africa. What an opportunity it was. Now we were going to relax in exotic Zanzibar.Time
It was almost 3 p.m. and is probably my second favorite photo taken in Zanzibar. The water in the area we were staying was unbelievable.Lighting
Photo taken shooting down through a window of a twin engine prop plane. No special lighting support was used just the natural lighting available to me.Equipment
I used my iPhone 5 because I could not have my camera out loose in the plane.Inspiration
The fantastic color of the water and the red roof popped. I had an opportunity and I took advantage of it.Editing
Nothing special. Just took out as much glare and haze as possible.In my camera bag
My main camera, Nikon D7000 with a Sigma 18-250mm lens. I carry also a Nikon D50 with a Sigma 250-500mm lens. Also, a Nikon Flash, UV and polarizer filters, cleaning items too. I also have a mini-tripod. If on a car trip I will take my tripod and monopod.Feedback
Always watch for that special opportunity and subject. Use what equipment you have available and go for it! Some photographers spend hours waiting for that special shot. Unfortunately, I have not had the time or patience to get that shot. I have been very lucky to get spare of the moment photo opportunities and the shot came out great.
