This photograph was taken in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. My wife and I were on vacation and were were walking by the resort and saw the curtain blowing.Time
This photograph was taken at 2:30 in the afternoon. It was hard to tell the shape of the blowing curtain, so I took several images. This one was what I was looking for.Lighting
The lighting on the building made the white curtain stand out. The lighting was just right, and I lucked out seeing it as we walked by.Equipment
I was traveling very light, as we were on vacation. I had a Canon PowerShot SX30 IS. I didn’t expect to see anything this interesting.Inspiration
When I saw the curtain blowing in the wind, I was able to see, in my mind, what the final image would look like.Editing
I did very little post processing of this image. Just a bit of sharpening in Photoshop. Also, just minor adjusting of the whites and blacks.In my camera bag
Since my wife and I were on vacation, I was traveling very light and just had the one camera, a Canon PowerShot SX30 IS. My camera bag usually includes: Fuji X-T2 (converted to full spectrum) for photographing infrared Fuji X-T3 Fuji 14mm Lens Fuji 18-135mm Lens Fuji 60mm Macro Lens Fuji 100-400mm Lens Fuji 1.4X tele-converter Numerous filters Extra SD CardsFeedback
Always be prepared for the unexpected. As we were walking by the resort, we both saw the curtain blowing in the wind. It is a good idea to have a small camera with you for unexpected moments, when you see something you want to photograph. With the curtain blowing, it was hard to tell exactly how the image would look. I took several images to be sure I captured one that I liked the look of. One of the images captured what I was looking for.
