Behind The Lens

Location

I took the photo at sunset in Fort Fisher, NC. It's a beautiful, peaceful fort near Wilmington, NC.

Time

I was going through a very rough time and needed a solace. Instead of driving home after a heartwrenching day, I headed down to Fort Fisher to just stare into the sunset. This picture was taken as I walked down the path along the waterway.

Lighting

The skyline had an orange hue that was reflecting in the waterway. My heart was heavy that day, but the scenery was breathtaking and gave me a temporary escape from the trials of the world.

Equipment

I was walking with no tripod.and my canon T3i. I don't believe I used a flash. The lens was a basic 18-55mm

Inspiration

The beauty of the sky, the solace I found in the moon and lighting.

Editing

Yes, but not much post processing

In my camera bag

I usually keep my 18-55mm lens and my 75-300mm. These two lens give me the ability capture a wide variety of scenes.

Feedback

Be patient, be ready to stay late or arrive early, keep your camera with you at all times, and enjoy the experience. It's almost religious sometimes. .
