Behind The Lens

Location

The local baseball field here in Castlewood. I have spent a lot of time at the park as a coach and player the last 10 years. Seemed like the perfect place for a sunset picture.

Time

I got off work and noticed the skies were turning into something spectacular. I rushed to the field and found a ball in my car to which I started taking shots with the clouds forming behind.

Lighting

The lighting was tricky as it got dark fast. As you can tell by the clouds, they provided a wonderful background for my shot. I made it just in time to catch enough light.

Equipment

I used my Samsung Galaxy 10 phone. It takes amazing pictures. Most wouldn't know I didn't have a professional camera.

Inspiration

I love baseball and sunsets. The timing was perfect and the sky one of a kind.

Editing

I did some editing to brighten the image a bit. The dark skies were still able to show through.

In my camera bag

Just my phone camera.

Feedback

Always take the shot, and many shots. Can always delete later. Get crazy with your angles. I was laying on my belly for this one!
