Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Rodanthe, North Carolina while on vacation with my family.

Time

I can't pinpoint the exact time, but it was my first capture of the sunrise. It was special to me, since it was with my mom!

Lighting

The sun cast everything in beautiful, gold and orange contrasts! It was stunning!

Equipment

I used a Nikon D3100 if I remember correctly!

Inspiration

I just capture what I see when it snags on my heart. It honestly left me speechless, how bright and beautiful the sky was. Paired with the plants, it was impeccable!

Editing

I enhanced a little lighting and saturation to take away grain and match what I really saw, but nothing heavy!

In my camera bag

Just my camera and a few different lenses!

Feedback

Don't be afraid to lay on the ground and get a little dirty! Take the shot, just do it if it moves you.
