Behind The Lens
Location
I took this shot one late summers afternoon on the hill near the Maalaea Harbor Maui Hawaii. Overlook there on that hill provided a near 360 degree view. Having the sunset over the island to the right of this shot provided a special scene of sunlit clouds.Time
I took this shot one late summers afternoon on the hill near the Maalaea Harbor Maui Hawaii. At anytime the scenes are photographic, even the rain and rain clouds but this day gave those fun puffy clouds basking in the sunlightLighting
A 100% natural light as you can see and I did not have to try that hard but what was interesting is the blue and white hues, no other colors really and that was natural as wellEquipment
Sony A7Rii and a Sony Sel 18-200 lensInspiration
I think it is obvious why I took this picture. When I arrived no I did not expect the clouds and color and yet another sailboat passing by expect you can find those around 530pm coming into the harbor. The sky was speaking to me and mesmerized by the beauty I took the shot and hoped it turned out as I saw it, better than expected I would say.Editing
I enhanced the colors but as you can see the boat in background barely shows. The sailboat in foreground also not big enough to do the rest of the image justice. I took out the sailboat and put it back bigger and hopefully better using photoshop and Corel software editing programsIn my camera bag
I primarily use the Sony A 7RII with a SEL 18-200mm F 3.5-6.3 lens and a Sony FE 90mm F 2.8 Macro and a 4.5-6.3/70-350 G OSS. I also carry a backup , the Canon Rebel 5 but rarely use it anymore. 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.Feedback
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 I 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! I try to really pay attention to what I love, the creativity and not be a cookie cutter version of someones else ideas, I like to create my own perspective
