Location
I took this photo down the street from my house in Pembroke Pines, Florida.Time
I saw that the sun was beginning to set, so I grabbed my camera bag and a wine glass to see if I could get a shot of the sunset through the glass. I had never tried this before. It was taken on Sept,18, 2015 at about 8:15 in the evening.Lighting
I love doing sunset shots and the sky was perfect. No flash was used.Equipment
I had just gotten my Nikon D7100 and was practicing with it. I used the Nikkor 18-55 lens that came with the camera. No tripod was used because I had to stand in the street and shoot between cars.Inspiration
Sunsets are my favorite and living on a lake gives me lots of opportunity to experiment.Editing
With editing, less is more. Just brightening up the colors is all that was needed.In my camera bag
I always carry my 18-55 and and my 70-300 lenses along with my Nikon D7100 and a couple of filters.Feedback
Shoot alot! Don't be afraid to try something new.
