Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Yamba,New South wales,Australia. I am a self taught photographer who loves to take photos at various different angles of various subjects. I feel i can find the beauty in just about anything.Time
It was late in the afternoon after a two hour drive from Queensland to reach our romantic getaway destination.We took a walk along the beach before dinner. It was windy a north eastern breeze often brings Blue Bottles up onto the beach. When i saw this one i joked to my partner that it was fantastic place to be washed up upon as it's last view would be the best view it has had in it's life.Lighting
I wanted this picture to reflect the view from the Blue Bottles perspective,the sun was behind me so the lighting was perfect. It was just a matter of getting the angle right.Equipment
This was taken with an Apple Iphone 6 and just a few months later i received my Nikon Digital SLR as a present.Inspiration
I am easily inspired by random objects,animals, natural phenomena and man made patterns.Editing
I rarely like to edit my photos and aim to try and capture what i am seeing with my naked eye. When i do edit them often it is to adjust the contrast and saturation of the image,and some selective cropping.In my camera bag
I always have a phone with me as a back up when i have used all of the battery life in my Nikon D3300 with an 18-55 VR II Kit.Feedback
when the wind blows North east onto a beach in you area,you can be guaranteed that the Blue Bottles will be blown in along the shoreline. Go for a walk along the wet sand and make sure you're watching where you walk as these things can still sting you out of the water.
