Location
I took this photo at the Muriwai Gannett colony on the north island of new Zealand. It was my first big trip overseas and I was traveling alone. Everything was so new and exciting to me so I took thousands of photos during the trip. My camera got stolen half way through my stay in NZ, so this photo was actually taken with a cheap camera I had bought in a pharmacie. It shows that you don't always need the fancy and expensive gear to take good photos!Time
I believe it was in the afternoon. I took the photo about 8 years ago so it's hard to remember for sure.Lighting
It was mid afternoon natural light.Equipment
I took the photo with a Panasonic Lumix Dmc-F2. I had bought the camera as a replacement during the trip because my camera had been stolen.Inspiration
The beauty of the scene is what inspired me. I was pretty much taking photos of everything I saw during my trip to new Zealand because everything was so new and exciting to me.Editing
Yes I edited the photo. I adjusted the lighting and also the vibrance to make the colors pop.In my camera bag
I take my Pentax ks2 everywhere I go. I had a Pentax Q for a long time that I really enjoyed shooting with and that was very small and easy to Cary around. But since I am traveling in Australia, I decided to pack light and only bring one camera.Feedback
Go to muriwai! It's amazing!
