Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo right from my front yard in a Chicago suburb.

Time

I took this photo in the Fall a few years ago. We have beautiful sunsets here in Chicago.

Lighting

This was completely natural lighting as it was all original colors. NO editing was done at all.

Equipment

I only have my new Leica D-Lux camera which takes great photos. No tripod or flash or any other equipment was needed.

Inspiration

I absolutely love sunsets. They represent the end of another day for me and they have always inspired me.

Editing

None at all except for minor cropping.

In my camera bag

I travel lightly. I only have my camera, manual, flash, extra batteries and a battery charger in my handy camera bag.

Feedback

I would advise getting outside every night around sunset and try and capture nature and all its wonders. I go outside almost every day and try to capture different sunsets. Its very calm and relaxing for me.
