Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Dapeng in Southeast Asia. I was snorkeling with my son and was fortunate enough to have the camera ready for this shot.Time
I took this at sunset when all the small boats were coming in from their daily activities.Lighting
The shot captures both the freedom and the isolation of being at sea. “I am the captain of my fate.”Equipment
I took this with a GoPro while treading water about 300 meters from shore.Inspiration
I try to take at least one good photo every day. Carrying a camera has become something between a habit and an obsession.Editing
I try to keep my pictures true-to-life so I generally avoid post-processing unless it’s really necessary. This one didn’t need any help.In my camera bag
I usually carry a trio of lenses—telephoto, macro, and all-purpose so I’m ready for whatever is happening. I usually shoot with a Sony 7iii. With my GoPro, it just depends on the situation.Feedback
Don’t be afraid to get wet, but be sure your gear is protected well.
