Location
This photo was taken at Portobello Beach in Edinburgh. I was walking along the shore when I saw some teenagers. As I turned to look back at the clouds, one of those teenagers stepped up onto the wooden pillar. I had my camera already on and was quick enough to capture the pose. Right time, right place, good position :-)Time
This was taken around 12 midday.Lighting
The lighting was perfect for this shot. Midday sun to the east/left of the photo was shining through the clouds. As you can see, the horizon is bright and the foreground much less giving nice contrast to the overall shot.Equipment
I only had my Canon powershot. I carry it almost everywhere I go on a day to day basis. It fits perfectly in my pocket and I can use it discreetly. I did put a purple hue on the photo before uploading as it added to the overall atmosphere of the image!Inspiration
The beach always is a great place to inspire an image. I was very lucky to have turned back catch the girl on the pillar at the moment in time. Since taking this photo, it has inspired me to always look back in the opposite direction. You never know what you might find!Editing
No.In my camera bag
I normally just carry my Canon Powershot for quickness, discretion and convenience.Feedback
Don't always look forward for your images. Look back and to the sides. Spend time waiting for something interesting to happen. Patience is always a great thing in photography. Don't think twice about taking an opportunity. If you do, you may well miss out on a great shot!
