Behind The Lens

Location

Newport Oregon

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

The sun was setting so the light was very bright.

Equipment

I used my Canon with the telephoto lens to pull the subject in closer.

Inspiration

All of the boats were coming in from fishing all day. I love taking pictures at the ocean because of the lighting and all the bright colors.

Editing

The only post processing I used was a small amount of contrast. Just enough to bring out the colors a bit more.

In my camera bag

I alway carry an extra lens, battery, and SD cards. And of course my tripod.

Feedback

Patience, patience, patience. Sometimes you just never know what will come by your way at the ocean. Wait and watch and imagine what could be a great shot. The best shot is just around the bend.
