Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at the Detroit River Waterfront in Windsor, Ontario, Canada.Time
The timing was crucial for this shot so that the sun glare and gleam was at its highest amplitude. The shutter hammered down at precisely 8:25 pm on this sweltering end of the 10th day in July of 2017.Lighting
Every ounce of lighting was produced solely by natural causes though I do occasionally use small reflective surfaces or even small LED flashlights to add shine, gleam or reflective properties as a finishing touch before publishing my work.Equipment
a Nikon D7000 camera body, a Nikon ED Nikkor AF-S 4.2 to 5.7. (as well as a baseplate, a tripod, lithium batter pack, 8 stop filter and an SB-40 Nikon flash with defuser.).Inspiration

Of course... I have no idea at all, why my guiding hands went the way of over color as creative procedure and made me feel as if a 2 toned color fading, using 2 colors that would never intersect in reality...Yellow and Purple. Sometimes,.. Fictitious, can be better than reality.In my camera bag
Nikon D7000,Nikon D810a, 40mm for portraiture, 55 to 85mm for interior close up shots, 55 to 105mm for long indoor shots and short outdoor ones, 70 to 200mm for longer subjects or close ups from afar, 55-300mm for super distant subjects, a wide angle fish eyed lens for large area scenic shots like forestry ,waterways or people in crowds. as well as , last but not least... my macro tube set for intensely close, detailed shots of anything that required it. then we have the other basics like, 2 flashes, a halo flash/facial light, wireless keychain shutter release, all the cleaning necessities, caps for lens bottoms, lens tops and spare batteries and battery pack...finally,...my tripod and monopod for sharper shots.Feedback
Let it happen naturally. Don't force it.
