Location
I took this photo at St James along the False Bay Coast of Cape Town. It is a beautiful coastline with several small quaint villages and a favorite place to visit for both locals and international touristsTime
I took this image at sunriseLighting
I wanted to get the first rays hitting the color on those beach huts along with the reflection of the colors in the water. Butter lightEquipment
I used a Nikon D300 with a Tamron 2.8, 30-70 lens, handheldInspiration
I often walk past this small beach at St James and have been waiting for the right light to capture this image. These color beach boxes are famous and have become a symbol of Cape Town worldwide as they are photographed so often. I was trying to get a more panoramic photo showing the boxes and the walled off pool that is popular with swimmers. Fortunately it was early enough so that there were no other people there!Editing
I think I did a little color adjustmentIn my camera bag
