Location
This photo was taken at the tidal pool in Brighton beach, Durban, South Africa.Time
Even though I know the "best time" for photo's is early morning or late afternoon, I am not an early bird. So this photo was probably taken between 10am and 1pm.Lighting
All natural light, with very little post editing done in post.Equipment
Canon 600D. 18-55mm Kit lens.Inspiration
I love the beach and everything about it. I am also a real sucker for splashes.Editing
I've done very little in post. Opened up the shadows, add a bit of contrast and straighten the image. I wanted to keep it as naturally beautiful as I can.In my camera bag
I shoot with a Canon 600D and the 18-55 kit lens with a ND2 filter. This is the standard equipment I use - I don't ever leave the house without it.Feedback
Observe. Decide on your angle. Choose your settings wisely. Wait for the moment. Don't ever stop having experimenting and remember to have fun.
