Behind The Lens

Location

Lake Eufaula

Time

Around 5:30 pm

Lighting

Sunset and sun rise shots are about timing. Being in the right place at the right time. To soon or late effects light levels.

Equipment

This shot was taken with my T5 rebel with an 18-55 mm lens.

Inspiration

I love sunsets on water. I commute to work but carry my camera with me. I could tell the sunset was going to be fantastic. So rushing to get to my favorite spot, I got lucky.

Editing

There is no post processing on this shot, the colors are as I saw them.

In my camera bag

T5 rebel,18-55mm lens,70-300 mm lens. My tripod. And the extras I always carry.

Feedback

Sunsets and sunrises are about timing. Keep your eyes open for areas you would think would make for a great shot. And keep shooting, I probably shoot 200 or 300 shots before I get one that I like.
