Behind The Lens

Location

Victoria Beach in Laguna Beach, California

Time

This photo was taken mid-day.

Lighting

It was a beautiful sun shinny day hear in Southern California and the sun was just glistening off this star fish. Natural lighting at its best.

Equipment

Nikon D600, AF-S Nikkor 28-300mm lens, polarizing filter, no tripod on this photo.

Inspiration

These star fish are magnificent creatures with their bright colors. I can never take enough photos of these star fish. They just amaze me how they come in on hide tide bask in the sun and then go out with the tide at night.

Editing

There was very little post-processing on this photo as the colors were already vibrant. I did crop the photo a little.

In my camera bag

Nikon camera, cleaning kit, polarizing filter and other lenses.

Feedback

Respect the surrounding of these beautiful creatures. And they will give you the best photo opt ever!
