Behind The Lens

Location

It was sunny in Maho Beach,St. Maarten.I saw lots of people waiting to capture this huge plane.I run with my camera in a shutter priority mode,lying in the sand in order to compose this image.

Time

It almost noontime,everybody is enjoying the beach.This image was taken January 24, 2014 when our cruiseship docked in St. Maarten.

Lighting

Anticipate the direction of light, like for this shot.I placed my camera away from the sun to have a better lighting.

Equipment

I got my Nikon D-90 attached with Nikon 10mm-24mm wide angle lens to captured this image,no tripod,lying in the sand using the shutter priority mode.

Inspiration

I composed this image to show the size and distance between the plane and the people.

Editing

Since my camera was set in shutter priority mode,a minimal adjustment in photoshop was made.

In my camera bag

I loved landscape,all the time my wide angle lens is always attached to my Nikon DSLR.

Feedback

When it comes to landscape, visualize your scene under the right kind of light.Use the right gear and be observant.
