Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken from the top of the hill outside my community. The view from the top of the street overlooks the east valley. It was perfect.

Time

It was taken at sunrise

Lighting

I was so delighted when I downloaded this shot! I sat outside my car and waited for the sun to come up over the mountain.

Equipment

The camara is a Nikon CoolPix S7000, the tripod was the roof of my car :-) No flash filter or added lens.

Inspiration

I am always looking for new places to explore even in my own back yard. I finally made the trip up the street and was happy I did. The Phoenix valley is really very diverse and offers alot of opportunity for some nice photos.

Editing

No, I didn't do any post processing. I am learning about all options of photography and looking to even take some classes and/or join a group.

In my camera bag

Currently I just have my Nikon CoolPix S7000. My photos are organic, no filters, special lighting or enhancing. I hope to progress into all that.

Feedback

Seize the moment, that is what happenend here. The lighting was beautiful. The desert captures life and light like no other. I feel very fortunate to live here. Also being around other creative people is very helpful. They see things in your work that you may not. For instance my sister is an artist of paint and of graphics. She is always encourging me to pursue my love of photography. Embrace your surroundings and look for things that catch your eye, chances are they will do the same for those who view the shot. It is an honor to view the photographers work on this site. It is motovating and challenging at the same time. Thanks for letting me share.
