Behind The Lens

Location

captured on Anna Maria Island, Gulf Coast, Fl. 10.16.11. Scouted many locations on Anna Maria and Long Boat Key..... One of my top captures, including those from Hawaii........ :-)

Time

Sunset, always checking for cloud formations; if it looks promising, out i go... :-) as the colors were building i became intralled, moved around changing composition, monitoring and reprogramming camera setting. Framed in the tide pool reflection and captured a few images when a couple walked into the frame............. :-)

Lighting

Light was all natural, lasting a half hour plus..... recorded the entire event: before, during, dusk............. :-)

Equipment

Shot with a Panasonic Fz28, carbon fiber tripod....

Inspiration

Sunsets are in my dna.......................... :-)

Editing

Slight contrast, highlight adj. in windows 7..... that's it.............. the real...................... :-)

In my camera bag

Carry no bag, just a camera or two, sometimes a tripod, sometimes not. The Panasonic, duct taped and all; finally gave up the ghost.... now i have a Canon 60D with a superwide angle lens, also a Nikon D3200 with 80/200 zoom. Occasionally i'll ware a vest if i plan to use external flash, for extra batteries, bounce card, cable remote, etc.

Feedback

well, see the light, see how it reflects, 10* of angle can make a difference, move, compositions are everywhere, master one's camera, reprogram constantly. i potentially shoot 360/180....... i do not use layers, whats the point? might as well watch tv. will use hdrps one day, maybe?..... happy shooting.... :-)
