Behind The Lens

Location

This was a sweet surprise on one of my 'time alone" walks down the Biloxi, Mississippi shoreline. I noticed the seashell and picked it up, but as I brought it closer to my blurry eyes I saw the little crab trying to hide in there. I put the shell back where I found it and this little crabby crawled out for a picture to say thank you.

Time

It was late afternoon right before sunset.

Lighting

I make sure the time of day i take photos isn't the middle of the day. Unless, it's cloudy.

Equipment

The photo was taken with a phone camera. I don't recall; Samsung vs Iphone.. I do believe IPhone won this one.

Inspiration

The moment of being in the moment.

Editing

The only edit was lightening the photo a bit. So you can see it more clearly.

In my camera bag

There are lots of great cameras on the market.. I normally take my Nokia when it is a planned photo shoot.

Feedback

I say the best pictures come when they aren't forced. Ansel Adam's said something like, "Sometimes I do get to places just when God's ready to have somebody click the shutter."
