Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo on small island in the Pacific Northwest corner of the U.S. It's where I grew up, and on this particular day I was standing in the water looking down at the changing light and movement over the stones. I'm happy I was able to capture the beauty of what I was experiencing.

Time

This was taken mid-day, at the beginning of summer.

Lighting

The play between light dancing directly overhead and the movements of water created the shadows and designs on the rocks that made this photo so dreamy. I was able to capture it by waiting patiently for the right pattern to be made.

Equipment

I used my iPhone6 :)

Inspiration

The place, the light, the unexpected beauty that consistently exists on this tiny island.

Editing

I put a filter on it, I believe one of the Instagram pre-sets. Then bumped the light a little to recreate the contrast I originally saw.

In my camera bag

I usually carry my Nikon d5000 but today I was at the beach, and wanted to travel lighter...

Feedback

Always carry something, whether a phone or small slr camera, to take a photo quickly, as the moments appear. Images like these change by the second, so I like to be prepared...
