Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Sea Point, Cape Town, South Africa

Time

Approximately 18:00 - winter sunset

Lighting

No flash. Only natural light and moderate exposure. Tha camera's built in exposure was set to +2 to compensate for exposure that was set a bit higher to minimise shake and blur

Equipment

Canon EOS 450D standard lens No flash

Inspiration

The reflection in the water caught my eye. Contrasted by the dark patterns of the row of posts

Editing

Slight colour elevations in Photoshop Light Room and a watermark

In my camera bag

All I could afford up to this point is the standard lens and a 70-300mm Canon IS lens for those longer shots

Feedback

Always be out during the golden hour before and during sunset - one can never predict a sunset as colourful as this by just looking at the clouds. And if at first you don't succeed, try again! Most photographers who brag with their winning shots might not tell you this, but for every winning shot their are scores of unsuccessful shots
