Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Big Beach in the tiny beachside town of Ucluelet on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. Nothing but the wild Pacific.

Time

My mom and I made the ferry trip from the mainland and then the 3 hour drive to the west coast of the Island. We checked into our hotel at about 4pm and as it was November, we knew the sun would be setting soon.

Lighting

I wanted to show the connection of bright sky and dark sea and how together, they create stunning beauty.

Equipment

This was shot on a Canon 60D with a 18-200mm kit lens.

Inspiration

This was my first experience on the west coast of Vancouver Island and the wild Pacific Ocean was gobsmacking, I wanted to capture it.

Editing

Ran it through a quick edit in iPhoto.

In my camera bag

Just my camera and lens!

Feedback

Probably a tripod for a steadier hand.
