Behind The Lens

Location

Blouberg Beach, Cape Town, South Africa

Time

Early afternoon on a perfect summer day

Lighting

Beautiful cloud free day with some wind, gorgeous sunny day

Equipment

I shot this on my Canon 1300D with kit lens

Inspiration

I wanted to try to capture the beautiful view as a reflection in sunglasses. My gorgeous daughter is always happy to be my model. We had so much fun doing these photos.

Editing

I added a little cyan and worked on the crop in Adobe Lightroom as I usually shoot in raw.

In my camera bag

My Canon 1300D, Kit lens, 50mm lens and more recently a 80mm lens ball (Christmas present from hubby).

Feedback

Lighting is everything, I prefer to shoot in natural day light as the results are usually better for colour. Keep trying different angles, aperture and shutter speed, play with ideas and experiment. Have fun, it shows in your pics :)
