Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Little Carona Beach, Carona Del Mar, California.

Time

This was taken mid afternoon in full sun.

Lighting

The reflection of the sunlight on the water was amazing. I was shooting towards the west, the reflection from the water cast the boy in silhouette.

Equipment

I used a Canon Rebel T3. The lens was a zoom lense 75-300, almost fully extended.

Inspiration

The ocean by itself was breath taking, when the seal joined the boy by the shore, I could not resist.

Editing

I cropped some, and used the defringe tool in Lightroom. I also applied a vignette to enhance the focus of the photo, the seal.

In my camera bag

Camera, extra lens, lens cleaners, a camera rain jacket, and my monopod strapped to the bottom.

Feedback

Waves offer a constantly changing landscape, just sitting on the coast can offer many opportunities for shooting something interesting.
