Behind The Lens
Location
It was taken in a nearby beach, around 2 a hour drive from the cityTime
very late afternoon and almost night time, around 5:30 to 6pm. i was trying to catch the sunset.Lighting
tried using the sunset as the backdrop and adding a speedlite to light her upEquipment
i used a d5100 with a 70-300 lens and a speedlite with a reflector bowlInspiration
it was a summer and i got inspired by the sunset photos i always see on social mediasEditing
i did some color adjustments on color, some skin retouching and sharpeningIn my camera bag
i usually bring a camera body, a 50mm and 70-300, 2 flash units and gels. i also bring a lightstand just in case i need one and a small modifier usually a reflector bowl or my 23" octa.Feedback
plan for it, specially the time you are shooting. you will be racing with time when you shoot with sunsets. set your flash quick also or have it in ttl :)
