Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was captured on the "Happy Island" of Aruba. The beaches are so beautiful and the sunsets paint the sky each evening.

Time

The best time for natural light is just before sunrise and just at sunset. This was taken as the sun disappeared below the horizon.

Lighting

I wanted to show the natural beauty on the sun painting the clouds as it sets for the night. Every sunset is different and offers a challenge to capture the true picture. Each location offers different possibilties such as the dessert, the beach, the mountains. Also the time of year makes for different lighting and photos.

Equipment

This picture was actually taken with an i-phone. I usually a Sony Alpha 65 but snapped this with my phone!

Inspiration

I was trying to capture the beauty of the sunset and show a little of the Aruban beach huts.

Editing

I us Light Room but did not do anything to this photo

In my camera bag

I have a Sony Alpha 65 with an 18-55 and a 75-300. And of course my iphone!

Feedback

Patience and scouting different locations. The window is pretty short as the sun waits for no one
