Behind The Lens

Location

this photo was taken in la jolla, ca. La jolla translates to "the jewel." What a perfect translation.

Time

this image was created near the end of the, as the sun began to set.

Lighting

sunny days along the California coast often become foggy in the late afternoon. At the beach, one just hopes Mother Nature delivers her goods while standing behind a tripod.

Equipment

kit: canon 5dIII and an ultra wide lens, canon's 17-40 f/4L. Like many of my shots, I got really really low and was sitting down using my Benro CF travel angel tripod

Inspiration

candid shots of surfers on amazing shelves like this one in California are so fun to take

Editing

post: played with white balance and sharpening

In my camera bag

besides the above, a 70-200, a headlamp, too many memory cards, and a business card to pass onto like minded folks behind tripods

Feedback

patience is key- ask locals if they wouldn't mind standing in a shot as a silhouette- but most key is to have fun and don't worry if you get any keepers or not. For many, photography is an escape, so have fun and don't sweat the small stuff.
