Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken at the marina in Ventura, Ca.

Time

It was in the afternoon on a clouding day.

Lighting

No lighting - no flash

Equipment

I afraid it is nothing fancy. To me, it is in the eye not the camera. Nikon Coolpix P100, timer 1/496 sec, shutter 7.1, ISO 160, lens 7.3 mm. The vignette effect was done using my hand holding the edge of the telescopic lens. It made a shadowy effect on the edges of the picture.

Inspiration

There were many really fancy high end boats parked there. But this odd one with the red sails was so unique. I squatted down so that the flowers would show in the frame giving the picture a touch of red in a sea of white boats. Usually the sky is bright blue, but that day was cloudy and made the red sails pop out,.

Editing

I resize the picture using Microsoft Paint.

In my camera bag

No bag. I carry a camera in my pocketbook. You never know when something will catch your eye.

Feedback

My advice is to capture life as you see it. I try to capture things that are different or odd, yet they are things you walk by everyday. I just point them out with my pictures.
