Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the first pond at New Mexico Tech in Socorro, New Mexico at sunset

Time

This photo was taken at sunset

Lighting

The lighting in this shot if fantastic due to the vibrant colors created by the sunset which are reflected by the water of the pond. I took almost 200 images, varying exposure, time, and aperture to find this shot.

Equipment

Nikon d3400 with base lens. Amazon basics tripod.

Inspiration

I was taking photos to explore lighting in various situations. This day I decided to watch the sun set.

Editing

I pretty much evened things out but made the color pop a little more with just the Google photos app

In my camera bag

My Nikon d3400 and a tripod for digital. Film I carry an old Minolta my parents gave me along with some zoom lenses.

Feedback

The sun doesn't set that fast, try every combination of values that you can.
