Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken fresh form the waters of Crystal River, Florida during scallop season. After the scallop was caught and brought up to the boat I position it just right on the desk rail of the boat for the perfect lighting effect displaying the "blue eyes".

Time

Don't remember remember exact time of day but of course day light hours. Estimating anywhere between 10am- 3pm.

Lighting

Yes of course, it was all about the lighting. As that was the most important part of this image, so placing the scallop in the right position it was all about timing and angle of the scallop.

Equipment

I believe it was Nikon D200. Lens 300mm

Inspiration

The addiction I have for photography and displaying the "true blue eyes" of a scallop for the human eye to actual see.

Editing

No, no post processing. As you see the water droplets are very must displayed on the shell. No added corrections were made. Perfect scallop, perfect timing with perfect photography for a scallop!!!

In my camera bag

Nikon Camera with a multitude of lenses.

Feedback

Patience and timing is everything in photography. The Love and passion one should have to continue capturing amazing photo's each day. Everyday is a new day and Life has many amazing incredible to "shoot". Remember "Life is Beautiful" no matter were you are. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Such a true quote. ** Appreciate the compliment given to this photo and the memories of this scallop will always be remembered!!! Photography by Judy B
