Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken along the Santa Ana River bed near Norco, CA.

Time

This shot was taken in the late morning while hiking with my family through some horse trails in the Santa Ana River.

Lighting

This shot is completely lit with natural light.

Equipment

This shot was taken with a Nikon D7100, a nikon 24-70mm lens with an extension tube to get the extra close-up macro look.

Inspiration

I am always greatly inspired by nature, and spend as much time as I can out exploring the outdoors. I always lug my camera bag around with me as I never know when an awesome subject like this will pop-up waiting for me to snap a shot of it!

Editing

I always fine-tune my images in Adobe lightroom! This image has very few post-processing edits, mostly pertaining to the brightness, contrast, and making sure the color was correct.

In my camera bag

I always carry my camera bag with me! It has a Nikon D7100, a Nikon 24-70mm and Nikon 70-200mm lens, a sigma 85mm macro lens, along with a couple speed-lights, an extension tube set, and lots of memory cards!

Feedback

The advice I always give my 8-year old son is to always be aware of your surroundings. So many people rush through life with their tunnel vision and miss some of the awesome sights, many of which are right in our own back yards!
