Location
I took this photo inside Hale H??ike?ike at the Bailey House.A museum of Hawaiian history and art located in Wailuku, on the island of Maui, in Hawai?i. It is owned and operated by the Maui Historical Society. Always have loved antiques.Time
This was in the morning when I was there , still cool and sun not too bright yetLighting
Just natural light and these pieces sit near a window with morning light coming through.Equipment
This was taken with a Sony A 7RII, no flash, as only natural light was needed. HandheldInspiration
It had been awhile since I went through this museum and thought I could find some different subject here since I am primarily a landscape photographer.Love the reflections of light off the smooth surfaces and the colors & pattern of the pitcher. I think for me it is about being creative and using My vision to do it. I know in todays world many great shots can be created in the software but I aspire to capture the shot naturally & emphasis it's beautyEditing
I did very little post processing only enhancing what is already there pulling out the detail & color. I use Photoshop, Corel Lightroom& Topaz Labs Plug insIn my camera bag
I primarily use the Sony A 7RII with a SEL 18-200mm F 3.5-6.3 lens. I also carry a backup , the Canon Rebel 5 but rarely use it anymore. Although the Canon is not my favorite, one never knows when I will need those lenses or the camera. It is always wise to carry MORE. In my backpack extras of everything including car chargers, plenty of batteries and memory cards as I shoot in RAW format.I carry also the tripod and monopod with me and an umbrella, flashlight, .Always learning and so my equipment grows with it. I don't forget the business cards and ipad. I try to be prepared for any shot that could come along.Feedback
I am a landscape photographer primarily so I need Patience and lots of it at times! With the I love of taking surf shots , beach scenes, nature this subject was different for me so taking risks in stepping outside my comfort zone pays off. Practice, know your camera, and more practice to get to know your camera!! Take risks, shoot outside your comfort zone and get creative, get low, get high, shoot in the dark, shade and sun, shoot everything and then go with what feels right for YOU.
