Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at JL's Rockpool in Mackay, QLD in Australia.

Time

This was taken early morning, shortly after sunrise.

Lighting

The CPL filter helped shave a few stops off so I could slow down the shutter speed and add some motion blur to the water.

Equipment

I believe this was taken on my first camera the Canon 700D with a Sigma 10-20mm f/4 lens and Promaster CPL filter; not the best equipment but good value for money.

Inspiration

I remember having a tough time at my full-time job so going out and taking these photos helped me escape; even if it was just for a couple of hours.

Editing

There wasn't too much processing done - I mostly just enhanced the colours a bit and added some contrast.

In my camera bag

I try and only take what I think I'll need otherwise I'll be lugging half a studio around with me. For example, if I was doing a family portrait I'd bring a reflector, 70-200mm lens, and a flash. I might also bring a 50mm because they're pretty small lenses. For this photo, I had a tripod, CPL filter and 10-20mm lens.

Feedback

Google maps help's me find places of interest, visit places during the week or when there will be few civilians around and don't be affraid to make mistakes.
