Location
This photo was taken on the island of Guam at Jimmy Dee's Beach Bar. There are a lot of great sunsets but this one stood out from the rest.Time
This was taken during the afternoon golden hour.Lighting
With the lighting for this photo, I wanted to get the most color out of the sky and keep my friend's silhouette. It took a couple shots, and getting Alex to keep running out into the ocean, but it was worth it.Equipment
It's been some time since I took this photo, but I believe it was either with a Canon Rebel T3i or T5i. No tripod or flash.Inspiration
Sitting on the beach listening to house music and hanging out with some friends, we got to watch this beautiful sunset form and I couldn't pass up the opportunity.Editing
Believe it or not, I barely did anything to this photo. I altered the white balance a little bit and cropped the photo, but not much was needed. I was just at the right place at the right time.In my camera bag
I currently shoot a lot of macro photography now, so right now I have a Canon Rebel T5i (upgrading to a 5d mark IV soon), a Canon MP-E 65mm, Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Lite, a Pro Polaroid Table Top Studio, and some batteries.Feedback
With landscape photography, I believe it's all about location, timing, and patience. Study the fibonacci sequence and a lot of practice.
