Behind The Lens

Location

Eastport, Long Island, NY.

Time

Late afternoon, in February.

Lighting

I am always on the lookout for unusual light. This was during an overcast foggy day.

Equipment

I had just received a Sony DSC-10 that I attached to the front of my 5S iPhone. It was the first time I used this combination.

Inspiration

It's all in the light. This photo was begging to be taken

Editing

Just cropping

In my camera bag

I have Canon equipment, but I like to use my new iPhone 6s

Feedback

It is very rare that you will find anything that stands out at 12:00 noon on a sunny day. You may have great depth of field and good contrast but These are what I call "Lunch Break photos". Listen to weather reports. Get up very early to watch the color balance of the light change. Shoot after the sun sets. Pick one location you like and shoot at all times of the day and the seasons if you have them. Pick the best equipment that is an extension of your vision. Have some fun.
