Location
On the big island in HawaiiTime
It was mid afternoon and the sun was not directly above. The light softens as it filters through trees and plants in the area outside the cave.Lighting
I like simple and direct approaches to life as well as to my pictures. What I found captivating about this view was the contrast from the inside out, the play of light and shadow simulating darkness and light that are at play in constant movement in life.Equipment
Digital camera, no tripod and no flash.Inspiration
I am always drawn to openings it's a metaphor for opportunities in life, so I take pictures of doors, windows, gaps, alleys, openings of any kind.Editing
Not often. In this case, I did not. Sometimes, I adjust the brightness or change hue and may also crop the image to enlarge what I find more important.In my camera bag
My smart phone. When I travel always my camera.Feedback
Listen to your heart, there is always a song ready to be written in whatever medium you choose. The eye is only as good as the heart is discerning.
