Location
This photo was taken at Long beach on Vancouver Island. This guy is crazy! The weather was chilly, and the water icy, but he wanted to go surfing!Time
I was visiting Vancouver Island and shot this on a on Wednesday, April 23, 2008. I used my cheap point-and-shoot digital camera. Proof that cheap cameras can produce the best photos if you know how to use your gear.Lighting
I didn't have time to consider the lighting when I shot this. It was dusk, nearing night time. I saw this guy out there and had to shoot this.Equipment
This was shot on a Sony point-and-shoot digital camera with 8x zoom. One of the cheaper portable camera options back in the day.Inspiration
I often shoot what inspires me in the moment, and this was one of those moments. The colours, the contrast just spoke to me. So naturally I had to take the photo.Editing
There was absolutely no post-processing. This was taken and uploaded directly from the camera.In my camera bag
Since the COVID-19 pandemic, I rarely leave the house. But when I do (and when I have my camera on me) it's a Nikon D3200 with a 35mm lens.Feedback
Shoot with your instincts. Look everywhere. If something looks good and evokes an emotional response, then shoot it!
