Behind The Lens
Location
Photo was taken at Fort Derussy Beach Park, Honolulu HawaiiTime
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.
