Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Currumbin Beach Australia mid winter hence the rash shirt

Time

This was shot around Golden hour between 4 and 5pm

Lighting

I'm not 100% sure but I think this was my 2nd time ever using a flash, it was an aquatec mini flash which doesn't do burst shots so you have to nail it in one go. Ps I have no idea why I took a selfie haha

Equipment

I'm pretty sure this was shot with a 7dmk2 with a tokina 10-17mm fisheye with an aquatec housing and flash housing

Inspiration

Like I said I literally have no idea as to why I took a selfie I'm probably the last person that would do them haha

Editing

There wasn't much post in this shot and I think that's why I posted it, I never shoot raw only jpeg and doing so if your setting are good your photos will be great. That's my opinion anyway

In my camera bag

I sold all my equipment but I do have a trusty gopro and a Sony rx10 mk4 that I think is an awesome camera

Feedback

Just get out there and go for it and have fun, we all have bad and good days, but even a bad day out shooting is better then being at work
