Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at a nature and recreational area known as Sunset Lake in Portland, Texas.Time
Late afternoon as the sun was setting.Lighting
Natural sunlight.Equipment
Nikon D3000 with Nikkor 55-200 lens and a pair of cheap polarized sunglasses.Inspiration
I had been watching the cloud as it changed shapes with the wind and had already taken a series of shots when the sun dropped behind the cloud and began changing to the golden orange sunset hues. I took off my polarized sunglasses to try and focus better, but could not really look directly at the subject due to the brightness. I realized that the colors were more amazing when I was wearing the sunglasses, so I then held them in front of my camera lens and snapped the shot.Editing
I did a little enhancement to the color and contrast, but minimal.In my camera bag
I do most of my photography outdoors so my bag includes the camera, lenses, extra charged battery, plastic garbage bag, handy wipes, soft cloth and minor first aid items.Feedback
Just use what's on your head!
