Behind The Lens

Location

San Francisco, CA. I was walking on the beach and noticed this clump of sea grass. I watched how the water flowed around the clump and new I wanted a longish exposure of the water.

Time

This was take at 3:30 in the afternoon

Lighting

Lighting was just about perfect

Equipment

This was shot with a Nikon D610 with a Nikon 24-120 on Benro tripod

Inspiration

Foreground and background seemed just about perfect to me. Anyone can look at this photo and know where it was shot.

Editing

Yes, I use Lightroom and Photoshop

In my camera bag

Two Nikon bodies, three lenses, filters

Feedback

Study your composition before executing. I've come up to scenes and was in too much of a hurry and ended up with not so good shots. It really pays off to walk around and study your scene. Sometimes I will take shots with my cell phone to see how the comp will look.
