Location
This photo was taken on the island of Oahu, Hawaii; along the west coat at the famous Ko'olina resort's Paradise Cove, while attending a luau.Time
Obviously a sunset photo during "golden hour". Hawaii is great for sunrise and sunset photos.Lighting
Low light and long exposure takes some practice to get the setting right and a good tripod.Equipment
I used the EF-S 55-250 lens on my T3i and a monopod.Inspiration
The framing of the palm trees with the sun right in the middle called to me, I set-up directly in front of the trees and waited patiently for the right moment.Editing
In post-processing I did some cropping to better frame the shot.In my camera bag
