Location
This photo was taken at Disney's California Adventure in Anaheim, California.Time
I went to California Adventure with my sister and nephews. We arrived early in the morning so we could get a fast pass for the new Cars ride. The park was absolutely empty that morning. I do not remember a specific time, but I believe it was around 10AM.Lighting
I wish I had a technical answer about the lighting. But in all honesty I saw the sun trying to pierce through the dark clouds and saw an opportunity to take a haunting picture at one of the Happiest Places on Earth.Equipment
iphone 4S, which proves that you do not need a fancy camera to take an incredible shot!Inspiration
I always keep my eyes open for a great photo opportunity. I am mainly a black and white photographer, I find beauty in the stark contrasts of black and white. The park was uncharacteristically empty the day that I went and it was cloudy. From the vantage point I was at, there would be no people in the photo and it knew it would make a great black and white. The clouds, the sun, and the lack of people make it haunting photo, which I love.Editing
The only thing I used for the picture was a black and white filter.In my camera bag
I do not have a Digital SLR camera. So, the only equipment I carry is my iPhone!Feedback
Since I was 9 years old I have loved photography. I was self-taught. It is all about seeing beyond what moment you are capturing. Seeing the potential of each photograph. Sometimes the best photos are the ones that you accidentally capture. There is beauty in the simplest of things. My advice is just keep your eyes open for those great photo opportunists.
