Location
Sunset Bay State Park just south of Coos Bay, Oregon on the Cape Arago HighwayTime
It was between 10 and 11 am.Lighting
I'm a novice, or better yet hobbyist, photographer using a Canon Powershot point & shoot so most of my photographs are taken in natural light as this one was. I will adjust and use the built-in pop-up flash, on occasion, to light up the foreground.Equipment
I use Canon cameras almost exclusively. This photograph was taken with a Canon PowerShot SX230 HS and it was hand-held as I walked the entire parkInspiration
I took this photo while being interviewed by a local news station, KCBY. This is one of my favorite places to take sunset photos so it was new to me to be there in the morning.Editing
I did minor adjusting of Brightness/Contrast and Highlights/Shadows in Photoshop, just to bring out some definition in the clouds and background cliffs and trees.In my camera bag
Camera, extra batteries, an extra memory card, microfiber cloth, and a flash diffuser for a DSLR that I found at a thrift store and hand-hold in front of the flash sometimes.Feedback
Don't put a point & shoot in "easy" mode and expect to capture a scene that doesn't look like a "tourist photo." I use Program mode for 99% of my photos and adjust for exposure, light source, flash strength, etc... I will use Manual once in awhile if I have time to make more adjustments but for fleeting moments, Program mode will give better results than "easy" every time.
