Location
This photo was taken on the shore of Lake Michigan with unusual coloring ( not bright colors usually seen) but coloring given out a magical feeling as a trail of light opened across the water to the sun.Time
About 9 pm as sun was setting on west side of Michigan, USA.Lighting
Not as much lighting as a bright sunset presents. Steadied camera on sandcastle and lined up the trail of light .Equipment
Cannon Power Shoot.... top of mound of sand to steady the camera... no flash...Inspiration
Observing a Lake Michigan sunset as I walked the beach... this trail of light seemed to draw me closer to the shoreline and beckoned me to follow this pathway to the sun. I could imagine walking from the sandy shore across the water to the sun.Editing
NoIn my camera bag
At the time I took this I only had the Cannon Power shot... now a more advanced camera and I carry different lens and sometimes a tripod.Feedback
Capture the moment immediately that "moves you."... line up the picture you want so you have the ultimate feeling that this is omething special .... steady the camera as best you can.
