Behind The Lens

Location

Near folly beach SC

Time

Sunset this time of year was around 7pm

Lighting

The golden hour speaks for itself I think.

Equipment

Sony a35, 75-300 Sony alpha. Hand held but steadied on the railing of the pier.

Inspiration

I set up my gear to shoot the sunset behind two shrimp boats that were docked at the shrimp house. I had a little extra time before the sun was exactly where I wanted it so I took the camera off the tripod and went exploring. This gem was hiding in the marsh just out of sight from where I was set up. It turned out to be the best shot of the day. Lesson here is always keep your eyes open to what's around you.

Editing

A little exposure correction and slight color adjustment was all I did.

In my camera bag

Sony camera, couple of different lenses, cleaning kit, maybe a filter or two.

Feedback

Look around you, change your pov, every subject changes just by you moving around a little. Explore your surroundings. And shoot often during the golden hour.
