Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during the summer of 2015 when smoke in the air from numerous forest fires turned the sky and sun colours for weeks. I had to move around a fair bit to get this picture with the sun centered - the sun kept moving, dammit! ;-)

Time

This was taken near sunset.

Lighting

The special quality of the light was due to smoke in the air. It was like 'the golden hour' all day for weeks. I took thousands of photographs.....

Equipment

Just my camera.

Inspiration

I was walking over the Provencher bridge and got the idea as I passed by the light standard and saw the sun partially framed in the iron circle.

Editing

No post processing was done on this image.

In my camera bag

Camera, tripod, extra batteries, extra camera.

Feedback

In this case I was taking advantage of a sun and sky reddened from smoke; otherwise one would need to wait till near sunset and/or use a high aperture setting to tame the sun into photographability. One has to move around until one gets the shot framed just so.
