Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture just about to cross the bridge over the Hartbeespoort Dam in the North-west province of South-Africa just outside my hometown Rustenburg heading towards Johannesburg

Time

It was just after rush-hour traffic. I was heading towards Sandston City - Johannesburg South-Africa on a winters day trying to reach my destination before nightfall as the sun descents unbelievably quick.I always sit and admire the beauty of nature whenever I get a few spare minutes to forget about all the stress. I was so drawn into this perfect scene that I nearly forgot all about my phone to take an everlasting memory of this overwhelming sunset.

Lighting

I'm a raw amateur photographer. I take photos / 'memories' whenever I get that warm humble feeling deep inside. As I was stuck in traffic and had nowhere to go I simply rolled down my window and took about 20 photos right there, every one around 30 seconds apart, each picture so different in its own way.

Equipment

Ive always been a HUGE Sony fan ever since I started taking photos as a hobby. This photo was taken from my Sony Xperia Z-5 mobile phone.

Inspiration

You know when you get that warm humble and peaceful yet exiting feeling deep inside of you when you see something beautiful like this when you least expect it ?.. Thats what inspired me to capture this amazing scene. T

Editing

I honestly don't have any photo editing software other than the filters on my Sony Xperia Z-5 mobile phone at my disposal. I took this picture and just played around with it for a while.

In my camera bag

I never leave the house without my trusted Sony Xperia Z series phones, fully charged of course.

Feedback

I dont know if an amateur photographer like myself could give anyone any advice on how to take amazing photos, especially nature scenes... What you see is what you get from mother nature and you just have to work with what she's given you at the time
