My son would have liked to have been with you when you took this shot... he loves to travel. Works hard to do so and I'm trying to teach him more about photography for his trips.
He too loves this photo. How did you get there for this shoot??

Behind The Lens

Location

St Andrews Bay South Georgia This is a place I had wanted to travel to for a long while. The hard thing is the cost of such a trip and the amount of time I wanted for the trip. So I got the 4 weeks leave and off we went. AMAZING PLACE>

Time

This photo was taken at about 13.30 as timings to get to the shore were all weather dependant.

Lighting

The time of day made this shot harder as I had no choice of the time of day I could be there. So I had to walk around for a while trying to find some that had split of from t he masses and standing in some light I could deal with.

Equipment

Just my old 5D mk1 on this trip I think it was my 70-200 hand held

Inspiration

I just wanted some on there own that I would remember taking

Editing

A little in raw adjustment but very little

In my camera bag

Now I have my new 5Dmk3 24-105 love this as an everyday lens 70-200 probably the best lens canon do 16-35 this one is new to me a couple of flash guns and my tripod sometimes a reflector
