Location
This photo was taken at the Island Heights Boardwalk in New JerseyTime
I took the photo right before the sun went down. Sunsets are one of my favorite things to capture, You can get good angles and different colors depending on the time and place.Lighting
I adjusted the brightness, and i turned it down a little trying to get more shadows.Equipment
I used my Canon Rebel T5i to take the shot no tripod usedInspiration
Believe it or not, this was my first sunset photo, not only was it tricky because due to the fact you can't look directly to the sun! So my eyes were focused on the clouds so it wouldnt hurt my eyes. It worked!Editing
I adjusted the shadows, and the contrast, and i addded a little of saturation, I really didnt do much editing to this picture. I got lucky lolIn my camera bag
I have my Canon Rebel T5i, with the std lens, I also have an additional lens which is a Canon EF 75-300mm F/4-5.6 for wildlife photography. You may never know what you might come across with.Feedback
The Advice I can share is, use what you have, you don't need an expensive camera, you can even use your phone, don't move to much and take the shot, you can edit your photo using any photo editor to your liking, remember you are sharing the world the way you see it!
