Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken in my home town of Naples, Florida. I spent many summer days soaking up the sun along these white sandy beaches.

Time

This shot was taken at sunset right after an afternoon rain has passed.

Lighting

I tried to position myself to angle the shadows for a dramatic scene.

Equipment

I used Canon T5i 18-55mm

Inspiration

My inspiration for this shot was the strong people in my life. Like the pilings, these individuals show me and everyone that no matter how rough the water of life gets as long you have a strong grounding you can make it through the storms and bask in light!

Editing

The only post processing I did was raise the exposure of the light and straighten. I try to stay true to the natural beauty of nature.

In my camera bag

Canon T5i, 18-55mm, 75-300, 50mm, lens hoods, filters for glaring sun sets.

Feedback

Timing is everything. Sometimes being in the right place at the right time. I think I got lucky that night with the light, sunset, water. It was meant to be captured and I'm glad I was there!!
