Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken at Fort Derussy Beach Park, Honolulu Hawaii

Time

It was late afternoon, after a rainy day. When rain stopped a tropical breeze dispersed the clouds and just when sun was going down completely blue sky got visible for a short periode of time. It happened I was at the right time in the right spot, and took the shot.

Lighting

As I described above, all credit including lighting, belong to mother nature which unpredictably treats us, photographers with some amazing scenery.

Equipment

Canon camera, kit lens 18-55.

Inspiration

I was inspired from alluring Hawaiian sunsets. Looking at different photos, on magazines etc. It is something really magical about Hawaiian sunsets.

Editing

Not much processing, a bit of color enhancement and an increase in vibrance. That's it.

In my camera bag

Normally I have three prime Canon lens- 24mm, 40mm, and 50mm. as well as Canon 15-85mm and 55-250mm. One polarizing filter and 2-3 cooling, warming filters.

Feedback

Best would be after an afternoon rain, when clouds start to clear and the sky is not to dark but in same time crystal clear. Moving clouds also help, making the photo majestic and a bit dramatic.
