Behind The Lens
Location
In Cape Town, South Africa. It was on a boat tour in the harbor.Time
Late afternoon, the sun was beginning to dip and there was good lighting.Lighting
The sun was beginning to go down and I was getting quite a bit of golden sunlight which made for the perfect lighting.Equipment
Only my iPhone. I was on a school tour and I didn't take the camera along, but of course, I had my phone with me.Inspiration
The scene was just perfect. There was the tire and there was the seal. I knew it would make a perfect shot. It was so extraordinary and yet also so real.Editing
Only a bit of simple editings like playing around with the contrast and color.In my camera bag
Usually, I only use my phone, and most of my best photos I've taken was with my iPhone. But if I take the camera I usually only carry around two extra lenses and two extra batteries, and sometimes a camera stand.Feedback
Always have your camera (or phone) ready and take a lot of photos. The more the better. Never think you cannot take professional photos with just a phone. Go places and explore, always look to take photos differently.
