Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken in Colombo, Sri Lanka. My husband and I were visiting Sri Lanka to capture the culture and natural beauty of the country, and it never disappointed.

Time

Sunset, easily one of the most beautiful times to photograph. We were exploring the city and decided that this would make a beautiful spot for the sunset.

Lighting

Golden light at golden hour. It makes the whole area magical.

Equipment

I used my cell phone (Apple 6s) to make this picture, and was really pleased with the result.

Inspiration

Everything came together for this picture. The rocks and waves in the foreground, the palm trees in the middle and the setting sun and clouds in the far background. And of course, the glorious golden hue from the sun.

Editing

Yes, used colour and contrast adjustments, straightening.

In my camera bag

Generally carry two camera bodies, nikon d810/610, and lenses 14-24, 24-70, 70-200. Also use a tripod. I also carry the nikon sb800 flash, which is used for portraiture.

Feedback

I belive that in order to get the best pictures it is essential to firstly know what the place has to offer. Once there some scouting of the place is required to find a good spot. Arrive early, and decide on the equipment you will use. And then wait...in all of this patience is key...
