I do not always like people in a landscape but this shot includes the beachgoer as an important part of the photo. Wonderful escape shot.

Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at Kelingking Beach, in Indonesia, during a trip in 2019. This is perhaps the best beach in this country, and getting to it involves going down a rustic staircase for about an hour. Its waves are massive and its cliffs are unique.Time
I went down to this amazing beach at 3 PM with my two sisters. The day was gorgeous. There were almost no people, so we were able to enjoy it practically by ourselves.Lighting
At this time, the light was no longer so harsh, so I didn't have many problems balancing light and shadow.Equipment
This photo was shot on a Go Pro Hero 7.Inspiration
This place is already inspiring on its own. Being between cliffs makes this beach an unusual place. The color of the sea and the nature that surrounds it gives it a vibrancy that stands out. As we sheltered from the sun under this arch, the view was worthy of a travel brochure, so I asked my sister to pose for a pic.Editing
I always do post-processing of my pictures. I consider that all parts of the process are important, since how you set up the camera values when you shoot, to the digital treatment with the RAW files. I like to give the last touch to the pic by doing color correction, and correcting details that make prettier what it was already pretty. Personally, I love working with sharpness, shadows, contrasts, gradients, and warm and vibrant colors in my pics, and this shot wasn't the exception.In my camera bag
I have varied equipment. As a travel photographer, I always try to cover all the focal range, from wide to telephoto, to be able to work at any distance. I have a Canon 5D Mark III body and I use a Canon 24-70mm f/2.8ii lens for portraits, Canon 16-35mm f/2.8ii for landscapes and architecture, and a Canon 70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens for wildlife, to be there when I'm not close enough and get a great shot. Nowadays, having a drone is a plus to have a different point of view, so I have a DJI Mavic Pro for aerial shots. Finally, to be an all-terrain photographer, I have a GO PRO Hero 7. Up to this point, this are my essentials. In other hand, I like to experiment with other kind of photography like macro, for which I use a macrotubes with a Canon 50mm f/1.8 prime lens.Feedback
Always be curious, and when you visit a country try to do some research to reach those places where not all ordinary people usually visit in their trips.
