Location
Natadola Beach, Intercontinental Hotel.Time
Dusk with the sun setting behind the dancers.Lighting
The use of manual settings to capture the silhouettes of the dancers. Making the iso setting low and the fb setting high. I was able to capture the setting sun and amazing colours behind the dancers.Equipment
D7000, standard 18/55 lens and a tripod.Inspiration
It was my first time in Fiji. I was amazed the colours and culture. While staying there on a extended trip I was able to start playing with the setting on my camera and use these settings to capture the intense colours of the sunsets. I still use this technique now to capture silhouettes.Editing
With this series of photos. I came home and gave them a little more contrast to help intensify the oranges and make the blacks stand out more. Nature and manual settings did most of the work.In my camera bag
Now a Nikon D7200, nikon macro 105mm, tamron 180 - 600mm, Nikon 18-55mm, tamron 18 -300mm and tripod and sometimes filters.Feedback
