Good morning. ..the quality some cell phones are capable of are just amazing. My S5 Galaxy does great with enough light. I thought this was taken with my S3 but it was Droid RAZR

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo while visiting at Yosemite National Park in California. This was on the lower part of the trail that leads to the top of Vernal Falls

Time

This was on a hot mid-afternoon, sun high in the sky day

Lighting

Quite frankly this was just a random photo I took with my cell phone when I saw that the light mixing with the waterfall mist was making a rainbow low along the trail

Equipment

Droid Razor...nuttin special

Inspiration

I love to hike and this was the first time I'd ever been to Yosemite. It was the most gorgeous view I'd ever seen while out on a hike and being at Yosemite was the time when I realized I wanted to be better at photography

Editing

Just brought out a little color with Picassa

In my camera bag

Currently I'm just shooting with a Sony A6000, 16-50 wide angle and a 55-210 Sony. Nothing special. On a budget :)

Feedback

For people like myself who love being on the trail and hiking or camping, no matter what the weather in the mountains or in the woods there seems to be no end to the possibilities. Put yourself out there and see what nature is giving you in that moment. I don't think I'm qualified to give technical advice. There are so many here that I look too for advice to be consistent in capturing amazing shots.
