Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in Babolsar which is situated in the north of Iran and is a coastal city.

Time

It was an evening beside the Caspian Sea in May 2012 at the University of Mazandaran's Dormitory. It was a rather cold day and the wind was sharper than usual.

Lighting

Sunset is always beautiful but I wanted to capture the light through the water naturally with makes the light even more beautiful.

Equipment

The camera was a NIKON COOLPIX L120 with 4.5-94.5 Lens with f/5.8 and iso-80.

Inspiration

The Caspian Sea is not as wild as Oceans and it is very friendly. I, however, wanted to demonstrate the power of the waves beneath this calm facade and capture the beauty of the sun and water at the same time. So, I wanted for the right moment and shot this photo.

Editing

I increased the contrast, color saturation, and the sharpness.

In my camera bag

Just the camera!

Feedback

I do not like to give advice, but, I can tell you that I take nature photos when the scenery feels enjoyable for me.
