Location
This photo was taken at Porthcawl beach south wales.Time
The weather was dull in the late afternoon and all i had with me was a pocket cameraLighting
Natural lighting overcast weather.Equipment
Nikon coolpix s3100. hand held with pop up flash.Inspiration
Just a stroll down to the sea front when i caught the view. I climbed down the steps to the beach and got down low to capture the foreground detail.Editing
Small adjustments using photoshop elements.In my camera bag
I normally carry an entry level nikon D3100 DSLR with AF18 to 55 and AF70 to 300 all this is a budget kit. and ideal to start with.Feedback
A lot of good photos are missed because of not carrying a camera,any camera. Camera phones and pocket cameras are not to be dismissed. A DSLR is great but it does not have to break the bank either to get great pics. The best kit is a seeing eye developed over time and being prepared for what is around us. Dont forget to have a device for recording that which jumps out when not expected. We can improve of course using all sorts of set ups and equipment but we all forget the basics sometime.
