Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at an old abandoned lead mines in Ireland. I climbed to the top of the area to catch the sunset.

Time

Around about 8pm during sunset!

Lighting

I guess the image speaks for itself. I hadn't had any specific ideas for the lighting, I guess I always believed that a photo never really captures the true beauty of a sunset so I always try to get the most natural image possible.

Equipment

It was shot using a Pentax Q with a 50mm Prime Lense.

Inspiration

The raw beauty of Ireland and the rare opportunity to grab a sunset in this country!

Editing

I did not actually!

In my camera bag

I usually carry around all the essentials. You never know when you are going to take a good photo, I never go out with the intention to do photography because I find that random beauty is sometimes the best. However I am always prepared, I use a brilliant camera bag which carries my tripod, camera, various lenses and anything else I might need. Like a snack!

Feedback

Take various shots from different angles, you may even need to wait a few minutes for the sun to set a little more. I guess patience is the main key.
