Location
I took this photo at the beach just a few minutes walk from my house.Time
I am often on the beach at sunset. This one was especially lovely.Lighting
Mother Nature provided the lighting for this shot free of chargeEquipment
Most often, I take photos with my Nikon Coolpix B600. But this picture I took with my cellphone!Inspiration
Every single night, the sunset is beautiful and unlike any other sunset. But some are just extraordinary. I wanted to be sure to capture this one so that I would always remember exactly how pretty it was.Editing
Not that I recallIn my camera bag
My camera bag has a lens cleaner, a spare battery, a chapstick and a ziptop bag in the pocket.Feedback
I take dozen of photographs of everything I am trying to capture. I change my position, the angle, the settings and the perspective over and over while I'm snapping away. Afterwards, I scrutinize every picture, deleting any that do not measure up and at the end, I keep only the one shot that best expresses what my eye saw. I figure that the more shots I take, the more likely I am to have at least one that I like.
