Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture on Liberty Island, basically in the middle of New York and New Jersey.Time
It was about 2 or 3 in the afternoon when the sun was at its brightest and the was bluer than the ocean.Lighting
I basically used what mother nature provided for me. I did not use any type of flash or anything. I chose not to use flash because it would reflect from the glass and ruin the photograph.Equipment
This picture was shot with an iPhone 6 camera.Inspiration
My family and I arrived to Liberty Island from the back side of Ms. Lady Liberty. We were walking on the right side of her and came across his glass case of a big motorcycle. I was just standing there admiring its beauty when I had one of those "WOAH" moments. My eyes took a step back and saw the reflection of the statue, the beautiful cloud movement and that one airplane in the sky... I thought PERFECTION.Editing
The post editing was turning it into black and white. If i would have left it in it's full colour, there would have been lots of confusion. In black and white I feel like it brings the components as one and at the same time differentiates each part.In my camera bag
Literally just my iPhone 6.Feedback
An advice I can give is always try and strive for something you haven't seen out there before. Thats the main reason why I decided to capture this moment, I had never seen a shot like this.
