Behind The Lens
Location
I took this at a small beach on Vancouver Island.Time
I was out for a walk with my family. It was just before dusk, when the light, clouds, and water conditions all aligned perfectly for this shot.Lighting
It's all natural. I made some very minor enhancements on mobile Lightroom, but the lighting is strictly ambient.Equipment
This was a shot of opportunity and timing. All I had with me was my phone. It was shot on my lgg4, no extra lighting, hand held.Inspiration
It was pure luck. We were leaving the beach, I liked back and the light hit the rock just right. I had looked at the same scene many times before, but all the conditions were perfect this time.Editing
I made some minor enhancements on mobile Lightroom. A little saturation to the the sky, and I boosted the contrast a tiny bit.In my camera bag
I normally carry a Nikon D7200 with a 15 to 70mm lens. On this occasion however, I only had my phone.Feedback
Be alert and aware of your surroundings, and be familiar with all your equipment, no matter how advanced or primitive.
