Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in Big Island of Hawaii. To be more precised this beach was located on Ka'upulehu site, the largest historic settlement of Hawaiian Islands.Time
I love this photo so much. I took this shot while I was snorkeling. After I finished admiring the fish I decided to wait for the sunset. It was a wise decision considering the beauty of this scene. This was taken on 19th August 2015, at 7pm.Lighting
I wanted this image to produce a state of calm and inner peace, so the warm light in the sunset is what I aimed for.Equipment
This was taken on a Canon 7D, with a 14mm lens. I also used a tripod for more stability.Inspiration
I wanted a photo with the sunset and when I saw that turtle resting on the beach I decided to include it in my picture. I think that was a smart move.Editing
Yes, I did post-process this image. I had to balance the light in the sky with the rest of the elements. The sky was too bright, so I reduced the amount of the light. It was easy because I always shot RAW. After that, I worked at the colors (to make the image warmer), I sharpened few elements and I eliminated the chromatic aberations.In my camera bag
First of all, I have a Canon 6D. The lenses I use frequently are 28-135mm, 50mm, 14mm. From time to time I also use a 8mm lens and the 28-300mm from Canon. Almost every time I go out shooting I have a tripod with me.Feedback
The Big Island of Hawaii is a place with various places suitable for landscape photography. You can find wild beaches,waterfalls and even an active volcano. And to not forget about Mauna Kea, the land of telescopes. So, if you have the opportunity to go there, do not hesitate. You won't regret it!
