Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was a sidelight shot, during one of my documentary projects for the International Dragonboat Festival in Boracay Island, Philippines, wayback April of 2011.Time
Golden hour, baby. When softer and pleasing-to-the-eyes sunset happens.Lighting
I think this was my first time to record a sublime spectacle, my first ever beautiful sunset photographs. I was told one of the best sunsets in the world are found in Boracay Island. I believe I nailed their assertion. :)Equipment
Handheld only, because I was walking back to my hotel. With Nikon D90, using kit lens.Inspiration
I've been seeing a lot of impressive sunrise / sunset photos; from books, magazines and whatnot, so stumbling one, that time, wasn't pure luck or accident—this has got to be it. One time only, it's now or never!Editing
I had a raw file on this and I bumped on enhancements balancing on exposure, highlights, saturation, and ambience.In my camera bag
Basics. Just camera and kit lens or 50mm prime.Feedback
Observe the little details in the grand picture of things. Observe how light—foremost its quality and quantity—affects your subject and the overall tone and mood of the photograph. It's what counts the most when you take an interesting moment.
