Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in Cayucos, Ca in December 2019. I'm pretty lucky to have so many beautiful beaches where I live.

Time

Most of my photos are taken at sunset. I love seeing the colors and the sun sink beneath the ocean. This was sunset during winter. My absolute favorite time to take photos.

Lighting

Sunset/sunrise lighting has, to me, a magical feeling. I wanted the photo to reflect exactly what I see in person.

Equipment

I use a Canon Rebel T6 on a tripod.

Inspiration

I'm a beginner photographer, so I take any opportunity I get to go out and photograph. Not much inspiring other than practice, practice, practice!!

Editing

Yes! I used lightroom for minor adjustments and then ported the photo into nik collections Color Effex Pro for the rest. I love editing! Its probably my favorite part of photography.

In my camera bag

At this point, I carry very little. Camera, extra batteries, 2 lenses, tripod and water!

Feedback

Patience!! Arrive early, stay late. Move around and take photos. Don't stay in one place. Remember to try from different angles also. You'd be surprised at what you capture!
