Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the Olifants West Game Reserve at the Enkoveni Naledi Lodge, South Africa.

Time

Sunsets in the bush are always special. This photo was taken on the 29th August 2015 at 17:18.

Lighting

Late afternoon at dusk, just before the sun set.

Equipment

This was shot with Canon 650D, EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 ISII lens. No other equipment was used.

Inspiration

I love nature and in particular the South African bush. It is a great privilege, having access to a game park like this. Sunsets / silhouettes always have a special attraction to me.

Editing

The picture was taken in RAW and I used Photoshop Elements to process the image. Nothing more than the basics and a bit of cropping.

In my camera bag

In the bush I normally pack my camera (Canon 650D) and the EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6 ISII lens as well a EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 ISII lens. Also in the bag I keep a spare battery, memory card and cleaning gear.

Feedback

There are probably may different ways to capture a beautiful images, however the first step is being there. Always be prepared for a photo opportunity, constantly adjusting to the prevailing conditions. Sunsets are always great, however be aware of the foreground and interesting clouds never hurt. Lastly enjoy what you are doing.
