Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken on a typical day in the Seychelles Islands. I stopped there on a cruise from Dubai to South Africa through western India across the Indian Ocean to east Africa. To avoid sea pirates, we bypassed the north east of Africa.

Time

This was taken at around 10AM on a clear and sunny unpolluted landscape.

Lighting

Just pure natural clean air sunshine.

Equipment

Canon EOS 30D

Inspiration

The beauty of the pristine location.

Editing

Just sharpening the contrast slightly.

In my camera bag

I now carry a Sony Cybershot HD AVCHD which has 20.4 megapixels, Carl Zeiss lens and goes from 24 to 1200 mm. What I like about this versatile camera is that it is equipped with a GPS. As I travel to many exotic locations this GPS is handy in locating the sites on a map.
