Behind The Lens

Location

praia de rocha, Algarve, portugal

Time

Around mid day, in direct sun

Lighting

natural is best where possible

Equipment

fine pix, although now I prefer my canon

Inspiration

calming sea through a natural frame of rock. A picture of something that caused the framing

Editing

exactly as I saw it through my lens. Im a great believer of not editing where possible

In my camera bag

Not I carry a bad with my canon, and a mixture of lenses. I like to be up=p close where possible, but a trusted telephoto lens has got to be on hand so the further away pictures cant be missed. Always a couple of spare batteries, lens cleaning cloth. Tripod is usually at hand, as is my remote wire.

Feedback

Look for what you like and capture it. If you like it why wouldn't everyone else? . If the timings right, the light is right. Dont be afraid to wait, but at the same time be prepared to be quick. If your not sure give it a try and look properly on the bigger screen and decide if you want to keep it, edit it or delete it. Nothing venture, ya know?
