Location
On the beach in Tofino, Vancouver Island, CanadaTime
Mid morning of July 19, 2004.Lighting
Natural sun light on the beach.Equipment
I used a Minolta Maxxum 7000i camera mounted with a Tamron 35-135mm lens. It is a film camera so I do not have any focal length data etc.Inspiration
Well, I have seen many starfish but they have been on rocks in the water or just under the water. But, here was one on the beach and moving. Based on the prints the starfish made in the sand he was scrambling back to the water probably saying to himself... I made a wrong turn somewhere.Editing
In most of my photos I will try to get rid of distracting cloudy look. In this photo the film and paper photos were processed professionally. To upload to Viewbug I scanned the photo and got out any negative contrast.In my camera bag
Two to three DSLR cameras, a 85mm Nikkor close up lens, a Sigma 150-500mm lens. Nikkor flash, minipod, filters, cleaning equipment, battery chargers, multiple SD cards and help cards.Feedback
Just take advantage of the moment. Always look for something you like. You never know, others may fall in love with the results like you did when you saw the opportunity. Don't over think because the moment may go away fast. This little starfish was almost to the water when I took the photo.
