Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Ciguapa Falls near my hometown Cabarete, Dominican Republic.

Time

This was an excursion I did with my friend who is a guide for Kayak River Adventures. We went with an entire group of my friends. The tour is several hours long and this is the highest jumping point of many along the way. The tour starts at about 9am, so this must have been at about 10am.

Lighting

This is all natural lighting. We were up in the mountains under a canopy of trees, so the light shines in between the shadows.

Equipment

GoPro 3+ Black placed on a head mount.

Inspiration

To be honest, I just wanted to show people how beautiful the mountains and waterfalls of the Dominican Republic are. I also wanted to be able to show my friends and family how high it was before I jumped off the cliff and took the plunge into the water below! It's about 60ft high!!!

Editing

This is screen grab straight from the camera.

In my camera bag

For not being a photographer, I am a camera/lens junkie! I have a Canon 7D MkII with 100-400mm, 60mm, 10-18mm, 3 GoPros, and a Waterproof Sony Handycam...oh and a Splash Drone!

Feedback

Come to the Dominican Republic and don't be afraid to explore! Always be willing to take the jump...even if it scare you to death!
