Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in along Corniche Beach in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, I was taking a late afternoon walk when I spotted this frame.

Time

It was late afternoon, on a hot Ramadan day when this was taken. Since it was Holy Month of Ramadan that time and offices are usually on shortened duty, I decided to take a walk on the beach area of Abu Dhabi.

Lighting

No lighting equipment was used herein nor any flash.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D5100 that time, with Nikon 18-105, handheld only and no flash used.

Inspiration

Sunsets and sunrise always amazes me and since it was Ramadan Month that time and Sunset was a great thing to the resident of United Arab Emirates. I was taking a walk that late afternoon when I saw this great frame. and did not even hesitated to capture it.

Editing

Simple clarity and enhancement was only done on this photos and no deep post-processing was done.

In my camera bag

Whenever, I go out I usually had an extra lens or two with me, and usually no tripod and flash with me. A simple messenger bag usually suits me. Lenses I usually brings, a 35mm, 18-105 and 70-300, anything more than that depends where I am going to shoot.

Feedback

Being observant to surroundings is usually the key to achieve this kind image. Being imaginative and creative is also one key.
