Behind The Lens

Location

this image was taken in Florida on the Beach of Fort Myers Beach with my iPhone 6 Plus, as I had forgotten to grab an SD card :( for my Canon, haha

Time

this imagine is my favorite taken from my iPhone 6 Plus, funny story, I purchased my crystal ball and had to try it out, and while living in Florida at the time, I became obsessed with the Florida Sunsets, so I grabbed my equipment, my crystal ball and of course my daughter and headed out to watch the sunset on FMB (my top spot), when we got to where we wanted to be I set up my crystal ball and realized I had NO SD Cards with me (so bummed) well good thing I didn't leave my phone behind, cause this is what was captured while the sun was setting and about to say good night to Florida.

Lighting

I wanted to capture the natural beauty of what the sun does to the sky differently every single night before we say "good night"

Equipment

well I had sitting next to me my Canon 70D, along with my Macro Lens but with No SD Card I ended up using my iPhone 6 Plus, hahaha, probably my favorite iPhone image, EVER!

Inspiration

Well the purchase of my Crystal Ball inspired me to become a bit more creative along with my favorite subject my daughter, after several different attempts I asked her to dance and when I saw this on my screen I couldn't resist, its just different.

Editing

no, no post processing was done ... shot as is

In my camera bag

Well, normally I have an SD Card (haha), my babies; two Canon 70D's, my go-to lens which is a Canon 18-135 Lens, my Tamron 60mm Macro Lens (oh my lord for all those fun little shots), my Tamron Wide Angel 12-24 Lens, my Canon 100-400 Lens and last but not least my favorite Lens the Canon 70-200 Lens. With all of those I always have my fun lens cleaning rags. Can't forget those!!!

Feedback

My advice for others; is remember to always be patient, one shot isn't always what it takes, we have digital cameras and phones these days, take more than just one shot, think outside of the box, be you! Make sure to enjoy your surroundings and just have fun. You'd be surprised as to how much beauty and creativity is around you, stop to enjoy it, then make sure to share it with the rest of us!!
