Behind The Lens

Location

I took this shot while with some buddies at the Santa Monica Pier. I'm an amateur shooter and love capturing heartfelt uncensored moments.

Time

Just before sunset

Lighting

Nothing noteworthy

Equipment

This was shot on a Nikon D5200 with a 55-200mm lens 1/400 sec at f/10, ISO400

Inspiration

I am always very aware of my surroundings and always looking for the perfect moment or opportunity to capture something great. I saw him get up on the post and knew something great was about to happen.

Editing

I sharpened it to give it a little more clarity using Lightroom

In my camera bag

I normally try not to carry too much so I always make sure I have an extra lens and battery

Feedback

Just become more aware of your surroundings. You'll start to notice subtleties you wouldn't otherwise, only this time everything is tinged with a certain beauty.
