Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken from vista point in San Francisco California

Time

This was taken around 3 in the afternoon

Lighting

I really liked how the colors in this picture turned out especially the contrast of the blue bay and the iron red of the bridge

Equipment

This was taken on a canon t5 with a 18-55mm lens

Inspiration

I had always seen the Golden Gate Bridge in a bunch and movies and tv shows and ever since I was little I dreamed about seeing it in person. When my cousins moved across the country near San Francisco I finally got the chance to see it as well as capture a photo to look back on this amazing memory.

Editing

I had to take a few pictures just to adjust the white balance but that was about it!

In my camera bag

I normally carry my canon t5 camera and a canon18-55mm lens as well as a canon 50mm lens. If I know I am going to a place where I want to have more stabilization for my photos I will also bring along my Targus tripod.

Feedback

Up at the Golden Gate Bridge it is SUPER windy so I suggest bringing a stabilizer or a tripod although you will still be able to get a pretty good shot without one. I also suggest testing out the white balance to make sure the colors are where you want them to be in your photo to capture the beautiful scenery.
