Behind The Lens
Location
This beauty was taken off the shore of Lahaina Maui as it was taking passengers back to ship from the town.Time
IT was early afternoon on a clear sunny dayLighting
All natural light, no overcasting of clouds or rain or too bright Maui sunlight, really the right mix of natural!Equipment
This was taken with a Sony A 7RII,18-200mm Sel 82000 lens, no flash, as only natural light was needed. Handheld and PatienceInspiration
What is not inspiring about Maui landscapes, beach scenes, and seascapes? That day I wanted to try something different, taking into account a suggestion I was given to try so I went to Lahaina, and took shots of everything but most of all used this shell if a few different scenes to see the results.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, and Macro tubes.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! 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.I have learned alot more since taking this photo as I always am inspired to keep learning. Look at the angle, composition, what is it you want your viewers to know about the subject? Do you have tripod, optics clean, batteries, card in place? In other words have learned to be in the moment and really think and compose the shot I want. Sometimes I do and sometimes I forget but no matter what I just do it! I always stay open to learn more!
