Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at my favourite beach for a number of reasons but at this stage I lived there so it was my backyard. Big Manly Beach, Whangaparaoa, North Auckland this photo is my feature photo i used to make business cards, mouse pad and photo book cover and also banner flags to use for business etc.Time
This was early evening time at the beach walkies and photo shoot. it never ceased to amaze me how one could go to the same spot and take shot from same angle but never the same twice. I love how natures paints its pictures for us we have no control over it.Lighting
It never ceased to amaze me how one could go to the same spot and take shot from same angle but never the same twice. I love how natures paints its pictures for us we have no control over it. This is why i prefer landscape twilight sunrise sunset shots and raw photography i dont use any programs apart from settings on camera. Nature does the real settings I sayEquipment
A canonInspiration
The magic of twilight or speed of light if you will and the ever changing scene through lighting (natural) that occurs wile quietly sitting on the beach having a bourbon taking in my paradise for that time. Reality of lifes worries float away with out going tide and sun melts away. Marvellous therapy and its freeee hahaEditing
NUP ala natural point n shootIn my camera bag
Bourbon Camera maybe extra batteries n sd card maybe a beanie if i plan to carry on for the moon and a bite too eat and extra plastic bags for shell n driftwood collecting. Usually on foot in those days so travel lightFeedback
Go out and enjoy and have camera at the ready for such moments
