Great capture. Love the composition and perspective. All the more impressive that it's an iPhone. Proves that the best camera is the one that you have with you.

Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. I enjoyed walking and looking at the boats.

Time

I got up that morning and decided that I wanted to go for a walk. This photo was captured later that morning.

Lighting

It was a very clear day. As I walked the path it wasn’t too cloudy or too sunny. The day light was just right. As I started to shoot and the birds flew above the light was perfect. The sky was clear and blue and the sun wasn’t a distraction.

Equipment

This shot was taken many years ago with my iPhone. It all happened so fast that I just took out my phone and started shooting.

Inspiration

There were birds everywhere. The path was very crowded that day with people. I noticed some great images that I could capture of the birds in the water and flying near people. A woman with a bike road through a group of birds and they all started to fly. Instinctively I started shooting and caught the birds above us with that beautiful blue sky. The photo wasn’t planned. The actions of the day, the people and the birds created a great photograph.

Editing

I didn’t do anything to the photo. What you see is what I captured.

In my camera bag

I usually have my Nikon with two lenses in my bag. It’s a great camera to capture everyday life with and get some amazing shots.

Feedback

Be in the moment. Watch what’s happening around you and see the shot with your eyes before seeing it with your camera. Be a great observer.
