Behind The Lens
Location
This image was taken off my deck in West Seattle looking west at the Olympic mountain range at one of the many glorious sunsets, I now no longer live there however the memory was captured along with many more.Time
This image was snapped on a July evening back in 2009 which captured the silhouettes of the mountains and illuminating the yellow sky casts across Puget Sound.Lighting
The yellow skies don't typically appear this way so this was a special capture, the sun typically will illuminate reds, oranges and yellows, here the primary color casts are yellow which gave a dramatic contrast across the water.Equipment
This image was captured with my old camera a Nikon D70, lens was my AF-S Nikkor 18-70mm, 3.5-4.5G ED, ISO 200 on a tripod, the only filter I used was a UV filter.Inspiration
The color in the sky was very unique and unusual so this was my inspiration, sunsets usually capture my attention so colors usually inspire many of my shots.Editing
Very little post processing was done on this image, I didn't use Lightroom or Photoshop when this image was taken so the only post processing used was a basic Nikon Capture software with minimal adjustments.In my camera bag
I now carry two cameras, the D70 is my backup my main camera is a Nikon D750, I typically have 4 lens, 3 batteries for each camera with battery chargers, various cleaning supplies, remote shutter, small flashlight, pen and paper, extra memory cards, flash unit for those indoor needs, business cards and camera manuals for those times I need a quick reference. I travel a lot so I also carry my tripod, in many cases to lighten the load a bit I will take an extra camera bag where I can store additional supplies.Feedback
I believe the best advice I can give to anyone who wants to capture unique images is always have a camera with you, I always take my camera with me wherever I go and yes that includes an iPhone however if you want to enable the power of post processing carry your big camera and shoot in RAW. You can capture iPhone shots however it is best to learn composition and as I've said always have your big camera and be prepared with charged batteries, keep your eyes open for that capture so you will remember later.
