Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo 30,000 feet in the air. On my weekly flight to Houston, I chose a seat with a window view as usual. It was a particularly cloudy day so I did not expect to have a great view but window seats are the best. The captain said we would be going above the cloud line to avoid turbulence. The result was what you see here.

Time

Early morning, around 7 am as the sun was on its way up.

Lighting

The lighting couldn't be more perfect. I kept snapping pictures until I found the one that resulted in an almost raining of sunlight effect

Equipment

iPhone

Inspiration

The view, it was breathtaking. It was like we were rising up to pearly gates.

Editing

Nope. I try to keep them as is most of the time.

In my camera bag

My iPhone.

Feedback

Take any opportunity you can. If you see something that you think is beautiful, chances are others will as well. And if not, you might open someone's eyes to the beauty of what they had not known.
