Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo near Woodley Island in Eureka, Ca. Being new to photography, I'm always fascinated by the colors during a gorgeous sunset.

Time

This is one of my favorite images. It was taken in the evening during a 4th of July BBQ with friends and family.

Lighting

Sunsets, I feel, warm the soul. I wanted this picture to embody that feeling. It was such a satisfying emotion to capture this moment of beauty.

Equipment

This was taken on my iPhone 5s with no other equipment used.

Inspiration

I was inspired by the moment. I looked up from my food and saw a wonderful set up for a photo opportunity. The sun was right, the air was warm and inviting. I found my angle and saw the perfect moment to take a stunt photograph.

Editing

I did touch up the photo in post. I used Instagram's filters and settings to fine-tune the color and feel I was looking for.

In my camera bag

I typically have my Panasonic LUMIX GH3 with a voigtlander 25mm prime. I'll have a tripod, remote and extra lenses for variety.

Feedback

In Humboldt County, the weather can vary. You can be in one part of the county and find that it's overcast and cold while in another part of the same county, it can be hot and clear. You'll want to take these kinds of photos during the summer time when your chances of clear blue sky (or mostly clear) are much higher. When taking your photos, don't be afraid to move around and change angels. Pay close attention to what you include in and take out of the frame.
