Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken from the 16th floor of an apartment building at Surfers Paradise, Gold Coast, Queensland. A storm had just passed and the Nerang River was so still that the water appeared as if I’d taken the photo on long exposure!

Time

Sunset I wanted the picture to reflect the grey skies of the recent storm and capture the rare stillness of the river

Lighting

This photo does require open aperture as skies were very dark and it was so late in afternoon

Equipment

iPhone 13 Pro Max

Inspiration

An image I had not seen before and have not seen since. It reflected my photography motto: Capture each moment when you can, for each moment is like a picture that has never been taken been taken before and which will never be taken again (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Editing

Only phone auto edit

In my camera bag

My phone, but when I purposely want to take pictures, I have my Nikon Z6ii

Feedback

Even phone pictures capture the moment!
