Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo from the eastern side of my porch, high in the Catskills Mountains of New York.

Time

It was sunrise when the early morning fog covers the valley below, contrasting with the colors of the sky. It was wonderful photographic opportunity.

Lighting

In this photo, the lighting is completely a natural phenomenon. I was just fortunate to catch it at the right moment.

Equipment

I used a Canon S100, handheld.

Inspiration

The beauty of the combination of fog and sunrise was one of those perfect moments. Fortunately my camera was in my pocket.

Editing

I used Photoshop Elements, mainly to crop the image, and, since I shoot in raw I shoot in Raw, I sharpened the clarity slightly.

In my camera bag

Since I am committed to point and shoot photography, I only have my camera in hand. Recently I have updated to a Panasonic DMC-ZS100.

Feedback

As this photo was a serendipitous capture, my advice can only be to be alert to situations where some unique opportunity will arise and hope that you will be there to capture it. Obviously, having a camera easily available is vital.
