Location
This photo was taken on the Ord River in Kununurra, Western Australia there is an old pumping station that has been converted into a cafe/bar. I was there for the evening to have dinner with a bunch of nurses from the local hospital.Time
It was mid summer's evening sitting on the deck waiting for the table to open up. I was an "extra" on this occasion having dropped in on a girlfriend with short notice. When I travel most often for work I have a camera close to hand. I was just standing watching the orange light flow out over the rippling water as the sun went down.Lighting
Natural light changes all over the world no two days are exactly the same. I have rarely seen a sunset this orange and always in tropical regions.Equipment
This photo is one of a series that was taken on both my mobile phone and my DSLR. I think this image came from my phone a Samsung Note 10Inspiration
For me, photography is about the beauty of the world I live in. About sharing its majesty and grandeur. I have a very itinerant lifestyle and often have a camera in my hands. For me, it is hypnotic away relax, and to be present. Images like this one evoke a sense of peace and wellbeing.Editing
I realize there are many who believe that post-production work is essential to the presentation of a photograph. While I respect that, I don't agree with it. this photo and every other photo on my page are totally uneditied, straight off the back of the camera so to speak.In my camera bag
I have a Lowpro backpack that has three cameras, a GoPro 5 for snorkeling and water sports in general. An Olympus E600 with a range of lenses, this was my first DSLR. It still works beautifully but has been superseded so I dread the day it gives up! More recently I have been using a Nikon D7200 with a standard kit lens. there are two tripods and a number of polarising filters that adjust for full block out to neutral.Feedback
The biggest thing I can say is just to have fun! The best photos take time, time to watch the light move and change, time to consider exactly what you want to share with others. The quality of cameras available these days means anyone can take a good photo in an automatic setting. Take the time to play with the features of your camera. The more fun you have the less you will be bothered by sitting in icy mountain streams or those endless shots of where some creature used to be just a second ago. Technical proficiency comes with time, I know I'm still learning
