Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at Castlepoint, Wairarapa in New Zealand. It is about a 3 hour drive from Wellington (the capital) along the pacific coast.

Time

Mid-afternoon on a cool, windy spring day in November.

Lighting

Mostly cloudy so there was a more soft ambient quality to the light.

Equipment

iPhone 4 camera

Inspiration

Was just a gorgeous angle of the lighthouse.

Editing

No post processing (didn't know how at that point)

In my camera bag

Now a Canon SL1, with the kit 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses. A 40mm 2.8 prime and a 100mm 2.8 macro lens. Plus uv, polarizing and nd filter.

Feedback

Practice makes perfect! Also get out and travel. Sometimes a new undiscovered area can yield a scene that is just begging you to take its picture.
