Behind The Lens
Location
Huntington Beach, CATime
Afternoon around 2-3pm.Lighting
Only lighting used is the natural sunlight.Equipment
I used my Canon 40D with the Tokina 10-16mm lens. For this, I did not use a tripod, by tiliting the camera it caused a fisheye effect.Inspiration
Huntington Beach is one of the popular beaches in Southern California. Since it was summer, I expected there to be lots of people trying to beat the heat and this was the outcome. What inspired me was the amount of people, all different color bathing suits and towels spread across the sand.Editing
Yes, I enhanced the sharpness, contrast, brightness and saturation to bring out the color of the bathing suits, towels ect.In my camera bag
I often just have my camera and lens.Feedback
Have fun. Take pictures of what you are interested in, what looks interesting to you.
