Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Lake Ontario in Newcastle, Ontario, Canada.

Time

It was a beautiful evening.

Lighting

The lighting was nice. The sun was low enough in the sky to provide the right amount of light without being underexposed.

Equipment

Canon PowerShot G12, handheld, no flash.

Inspiration

I was there photographing birds initially and then my boyfriend and I saw boats starting to head out on the water. That's when I concentrated on getting some shots of them.

Editing

The sky wasn't as I wanted it to look, so I played with the saturation a touch to bring out more blue in the sky. This I feel added the right touch to the photo.

In my camera bag

I had my Canon PowerShot G12 and now my Canon EOS 60D.

Feedback

Have patience. I have found that early morning and late afternoon-early evening are prime times to photograph this type of shot to capture great color. You don't want over/under exposed images. Low ISO is always great. Sometimes it's just plain luck to capture that perfect moment, and it's different for everyone.
