Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina. On the bridge near the entrance to the park.

Time

I wanted some sunset photos from the inlet, so it was about an hour before dusk.

Lighting

The sun still wasn't quite ready to set. This is one of the first photos I took that evening,since it was near the parks entrance.

Equipment

The camera I used was my old Canon Rebel T3 with my 300mm lense.

Inspiration

My inspiration came from the herons almost perfect reflection. The whole time I was taking his photo, I was just praying he would not move!

Editing

I adjusted my usual clarity and contrast.

In my camera bag

I exclusively use my Canon T6, but always bring the T3....I always have my 100mm macro.....16-35mm. I might throw in some other lenses, but those are my favorite. I always keep tripod and remote shutter. Extras of cards, batteries,etc.

Feedback

Practice,Practice,Practice....keep shooting!
