Behind The Lens

Location

I took this once a decade shot at Disneyland during there 60th anniversary. Just another day in the life of a typical californian.

Time

I will never forget this day. It was almost closing time for most rides and the castle was draped with banners and looked like something out of a movie.

Lighting

The back-lit castle made for a great photo with minimal light.

Equipment

This was shot on a t4i Canon with a 50mm STM lens attatched.

Inspiration

Thus was a rare occasion of which I wanted to capture.

Editing

I did a small amount of work retouching the photo with exposure compensation and made a greater contrast with less shadowing to give the photo some depth of field.

In my camera bag

I usually have a "mobile studio" in a bag sort O speak because I pack a lot of equipment that I should maybe downsize on. In this case I just had the camera. Travel light and go far

Feedback

Just look for something unique; not necessarily something others would say is a great shot. Something you feel should be recorded.
