The sunset as the sun aligns perfectly with my perspective and the rocks. The clouds bringing out beams, to hug the silhouettes of the rocks.

My first proper portrait shot, with Jayden kicking the dirt with it captured mid flight.

As the sun sets, the sky became this great orange and pink, reflecting on the underside of the clouds, to give the impression of an ocean of gold.

Spring time has come, and so have the flowers.

The sea tide, always in motion. Trying to come in.

This time, one of my dogs. He anticipates his red frisbee, the only thing he will chase. He wants it so much, it's worth biting his tongue for it.

Now that the sun has set below the horizon, although the light still wont die.

Overlooking into this magical field, on the sidelines of this woodland. A fence holds in the magic that this field possesses.

The light of the sun, is split just before it touches the ground.

The sea air has eroded the rocks into this pattern.

In the cold of winter, did my dog look up at me.

As they stand at the sea pool, staring at the sunset, they play.

Perhaps you don't need the colour of a plant to admire its beauty, but in black and white do you notice the shape and how amazing even the smallest of

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo whilst on a photoshoot within my school, the scarf gave me an inspiration to try and take a replica of the iconic Steve McCurry Shot.

Time

This shot was taken at about mid day, but the light was diffused due to bad weather. Within 5 minutes of this shot, it had started raining.

Lighting

The light was diffused and natural.

Equipment

Canon 5D Mark 2, Samyang 85mm F1.4 @1.4

Inspiration

Steve McCurry's Afghan Girl inspired this shot almost completely.

Editing

This shot received lots of post processing, the improvement of colour and contrast. Smoothing of the skin, brightening of the eyes and contouring to ensure better effectiveness on the face of the model.

In my camera bag

I always carry my 5D mark 2, along with my 50mm and 85mm primes. Often to be supported by my 24-105 F4L IS USM.

Feedback

Make sure the light is captivating, and the processing is effective to create a strong image.
