Secret beachside trails. In one spot of the trails is a secret lush garden. With a place to sit and watch the sunset. At this moment as the sun hits the horizon a train passesby full of people on the go. Sometimes its good to stop and look around.

Location
This was taken on the shoreline of Del Mar, California. The train rides right down the coast. theres a great little trail along the tracks and this spot has a garden and old fence that fell a bit.Time
This was a warm summer sunset. However, there is a challenge here to get the right shutter speed to achieve the desired result when there is only one train that passes right as the sun is on the horizon. This is taken at the perfect moment.Lighting
This was all natural lighting except for the trails of light from the train itself.Equipment
This was shot with a Canon 70D, Canon 10-18mm IS STM lens, Manfrotto 190 Go! tripod and wireless Yongnuo triggers. My list of my gear visit my blog on my website with more specifics.Inspiration
This is a trail i take frequently. The garden and fence really help compose a great shot. The combination of nature and transportation is interesting to me. Make me feel like I can hop on and go anywhere.Editing
I just did a little basic enhancement. Boosted some of the darks to match the rest of the scene. I used a graduated ND filter so didnt have to tweak the sky much except to mach the color of what i saw.In my camera bag
I enjoy a good variety of photography and therefore a good variety of equipment. My camera is a Canon 70D. Its amazing. The tilt-touch screen, the wifi, the video features, and the quality make it a great all-around camera. I have 5 lenses, from macro to wide to telephoto. Various lights and modifiers for models, product, etc. ND filters are often a must when shooting outside so i have a variety of those. I got in the drone game and got myself a DJI Phantom 3. Its a new genre full of amazing opportunity. I can shoot the same place a million times but when I use the drone its like a fresh location for me. I do alot of long exposure shots so wireless triggers are a must. The yongnuos i have work perfectly with the flashes. And as an avid scuba diver i have a gopro for underwater shots, soon ill be looking into taking my primary gear below the waves with me. I have a small shoulder bag from city or hiking. And i have a carry-on sized bag that fits almost all my gear inlcuding the drone. For a full list of gear see my blog on my site.Feedback
When possible i always try to keep composition in mind and tell a story. Photography benefits greatly from purpose.
