Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo on a day trip from Cancun, Mexico.

Time

This is one of my favorite shots. It was taken mid-morning on an excursion from the Grand Oasis in Cancun, Mexico.

Lighting

The only light was natural light powered by the sun.

Equipment

My semi-retired Canon EOS 20D, 28.0 - 300.0 mm lens, ISO 400 119mm f6.3 1/1000s, no tripod or flash, just sunlight.

Inspiration

This was on my Cancun trip in 2007 so just taking my camera everywhere I went to capture something interesting. This shot caught my eye for the beauty and simplicity of it.

Editing

I used an HDR filter for post-processing as the image was dull due to the scene and natural light.

In my camera bag

I now pack my Canon 6D Mark 11, my Canon 7D, 150-600 Sigma lens, 75-300 Canon lens, extra batteries, flash, battery pack, lens cleaner, two crystal balls, and a tripod just in case.

Feedback

A lot of photography is patience, patience, patience! A plan is great if you are open to other opportunities. Sometimes your best pictures come from unexpected things. Just keep shooting!
