Location
I took this photo in Sandbridge, VA at Backbay National Wildlife RefugeTime
It was taken a few minutes before sunset.Lighting
Natural lighting was used in this picture. Just made great use of what the sun had to offer.Equipment
Camera: Canon EOS 6D Lens: EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USMInspiration
I've always enjoyed taking pictures of nature and sunsets, and upon walking the boardwalk through the refuge I just felt that "moment" when a special shot was in front of my eyes. The clouds were perfect, the lines were perfect, the sun was perfect. Absolutely one of my favorite moments as a photographer.Editing
Post processing I altered the contrast a bit to give it more of an HDR feel without it being over processed.In my camera bag
I normally carry my Canon 6D and 60D, along with my Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lenses and Canon 580EX II flash. And of course a tripod.Feedback
As with photographing any sunset, patience is key and keep snapping. And don't mind breaking "photography rules".. thats what Art is all about.
