Behind The Lens

Location

The image was taken in Cape May New Jersey at the end of Ocean Ave in an area they call the "Cove" a few years ago while on a short three day visit. You can see across the cove the Cape May Lighthouse in the distance.

Time

The image was taken in the late afternoon prior to sunset after an afternoon storm passed through.

Lighting

It was a spur of the moment event since the sun was setting fast and the time to shoot was slowly fading fast so I ran off about 5 or 6 images and hoped I caught something a few days later after returning home. I was in the right place at the right time.

Equipment

Canon 70D, Rokinon 14mm 2.8 lens (manual)

Inspiration

The cloud formation and its reflection on a pool of water that was left from high tide said it was the time to shoot.

Editing

I did some minor edge sharpening from what I remember and toned down some of the highlights

In my camera bag

Canon 70D, Canon 50D, Canon 24-105 f4.0L, Canon 80-200 f2.8L (old version) 100-400 f4.5-5.6 L Rokinon 14mm f2.8 1.7 teleconverter and a polarizing filter

Feedback

"Serendipity" Sometimes after a storm anything can happen....Be ready for anything, anytime
