Behind The Lens
Location
I live on a Canadian Gulf Island and from one of our local docks I looked down and saw this.Time
Mid day, blue sky, bright coloursLighting
Brilliant summer sunshine, shadow under the dock.Equipment
My standard Nikon 3200 with the standard kit zoom lens.Inspiration
The dock had red rails, the sky was blue and the water gently moving with the tide. What made this image interesting were the waves that distorted the lovely reflection and the maple leaf which was drifting past.Editing
I always do post processing to bring out the best qualities inherent in the scene. The camera takes the image and i bring it out, I develop it. I started with B&W processing and learned that the image must be developed to achieve what my eye and imagination and feeling saw.In my camera bag
No bag, just me and my camera. What i have is simple equipment backed up by a sharp eye and a background in the visual artsFeedback
I see the potential before I make the image and then wait and check to be sure it is well set up. In this case the maple leaf was drifting past and i waited until it was in the best position. Without the leaf this image would have lacked the one bit of information that provided context.
