Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the San Francisco aquarium. The octopus was quite spectacular to look at with its ever changing shapes. I found the most interesting views to be when the octopus put its tentacles up against the glass and stuck to it.

Time

Indoors with indoor lighting around mid day

Lighting

This shot was indoors with no special lighting.

Equipment

Sony ILCE-7 FE 28-70mm F3.5-5.6 OSS ƒ/3.5 28.0 mm 1/100

Inspiration

I liked the shapes and colors.

Editing

I used Lightroom doing very little post processing.

In my camera bag

Normally my go to lens is a 16-35 mm Zeis lens. In this particular shot I used the 28-70 mm lens that came with the camera.

Feedback

Be patient and take many shots. Because the subject is constantly moving keep the shutter speed at least 1/100 or faster.
