Behind The Lens

Location

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

Time

Evening, around 6 or 7 p.m.

Lighting

Was watching the spectacular sunset when I saw the sailboat approaching. Set up my camera for the lighting and zoom power I wanted. Then it was just a wait until the boat crossed the for this split second photo-op Had I not been set up, I would have missed the shot.

Equipment

Lumix fz200 24x zoom, Leica lens

Inspiration

A beautiful sunset and a lucky passing sailboat. I knew before I took it that it would be a great shot.

Editing

NO

In my camera bag

Spare battery, sd-card, lens wipes

Feedback

If you see the potential of a photo-op developing, get set up so you are ready when the shot comes together.
