Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken just off the south coast of Dorset, while there on holiday.

Time

If I remember rightly, it was early evening on a very bright sunny day. The light had a very strange hue to it, which inspired me to try and capture the moment.

Lighting

There was a very strange hue to the light that evening, almost like someone had put a filter over the sun!

Equipment

Believe it or not, it was a cameraphone!

Inspiration

The landscape, the light, the joy at being able to enjoy such a magical moment.

Editing

A little very very simple editing to make the colours richer is all that I did.

In my camera bag

I don't yet own a decent digital camera, I'm saving up for one! So my "bag" is my pocket, and my "equipment" is my smartphone!

Feedback

Just shoot whatever captures you, makes you think, makes you feel something. If it inspires you, surprises you, gives you joy, then it's going to mean something when you photograph it. And if it means something to you, it will mean something to someone else out there too. Just keep exploring your skills and keep taking shots that make YOU smile, rather than worrying too much what others might think.
