Behind The Lens

Location

The South Stack Lighthouse is built on the summit of a small island off the north-west coast of Holy Island, Anglesey, Wales.

Time

It was late afternoon, and the sun was starting to decent to the horizon.

Lighting

Thanks to the sun, trying to break through the clouds, it was clear enough to see the lighthouse properly.

Equipment

Due to the empty battery of my camera, I had to use my iPhone.

Inspiration

The beautiful lighthouse, appearing between the rough steep cliffs, triggered me right away to make this shot.

Editing

none

In my camera bag

Just my camera and iPhone, unfortunately this time not a spare battery.

Feedback

Always bring a spare battery. :-)
