Location
The photo was taken while on a cruise to Alaska. The photo is of the Tracy Arm Fjord in Alaska. What a beautiful place to take photos.Time
The photo was taken on 8/16/2012 around 3:30pm.Lighting
The sun provided tremendous light to help bring out all the wonderful details within the photo.Equipment
The photo was shot from my camera phone(Droid SCH-1510). I took at least 15 different shots before I got to the one I really liked best.Inspiration
The landscape in Alaska would make almost anyone want to take photos. The area is pristine and almost untouched by human activity. The area is just how I would have pictured Alaska. Still one of my most favorite places to have ever visited for is natural beauty, and awe inspiring views. A must see for all Americans. Alaska is truly a treasure to behold.Editing
There is no processing of the photo. All my photos are just as I see them through my viewfinder.In my camera bag
I usually take videos for my family when we are on vacation. My better half usually takes the photos. On this occasion I put the video camera down, and took out my cellphone to take the wonderful photo you see here. I just was totally awed by the magnificence of the glacier, the teal colored waters, and the mountains that surrounded our cruise vessel.Feedback
My only advice is to keep it simple, and take the best photo you can under the circumstances. I take photos that inspire me, and also take photos as to how I would want to see them taken. Change angles if you can which will provide different variations of the photo if possible. Never be afraid to experiment. Enjoy and God Bless.
