Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo from a microlight aircraft flying over Ningaloo reef, Western Australia. My family and I were on a holiday last year in the north of our state, when we got to Exmouth my brother and I went for a scenic flight over the reef.Time
I took this at around 1pm.Lighting
It was a beautiful sunny day and the water was very clear, we saw Dugongs, Turtles, Humpback whales and Whale Sharks.Equipment
I shot this with a 5d mk ii and 24-105mm lens. As we were in an open air aircraft I couldn’t take any other gear with me.Inspiration
I was wanting to document our trip and the scenery in this part of Australia is absolutely stunning, I took hundreds of photos on this flight.Editing
I brighten the image and increased the contrast a touch as well as vibrance, this photo didn’t require a lot of editing.In my camera bag
I normally carry a backpack which contains my 5d mk ii (my go to camera) with a 24-105mm lens attached, I also have a 16-35mm lens and a 100mm lens. In addition to this I carry a 600d with 55-250mm lens and a wireless camera remote as well as spare batteries and memory cards.Feedback
Getting up in an aircraft can dramatically change your perspective of the scenery and can provide some unique shots.
