I got lucky finding this magnolia tree with the flowers within reach. Neighborhood walk.

Behind The Lens

Location

Take Me Away was taken along the coastline of sunny California in the city of Camarillo.

Time

I love the ocean and walking the beaches. I am a native Californian. I love nature, especially flowers and landscapes. When I see birds like seagulls within a beautiful landscape, it excites me to capture that moment.

Lighting

I believe with photography...to get the best shot, you have to spy the moment and angle or figure out the best position for the shot. This shot was positioned low in order to capture the ocean back scene with the seagull.

Equipment

this shot was actually taken with my Android Galaxy S10.

Inspiration

Nature inspires most of my shots

Editing

I did not process this photo. It was a beautiful sunny day! Natural color and lighting is the best for a natural nature photo. Take multiple shots at different angles! The lighting and position of your subject can change! This allows you to get the best possible photo!

In my camera bag

just my phone and something to cover too much light as I shoot.

Feedback

When you see something that triggers your excitement for a photo...do it! Follow your instincts. Those photos are usually the best to capture!
