Behind The Lens

Location

Auburn, Ma...It's a small pond on my commute to and from work. Usually where I see several beautiful swans (I have to stop EVERY time i see them, Photography is daily practice, right?

Time

Early morning, (like break of dawn)

Lighting

Early morning dawn, sunrise,

Equipment

My canon rebel slr 18-300 lens. no flash. (I tend not to use flash often,

Inspiration

THE sunrise over the water. The cloud formation, the colors. Honestly, I was driving up on this scene, and well I had to make my self conscious, "katie you are still driving, do NOT take your eyes off the road." I made it 100 feet or so to my usual pull over spot in the fire stations practice area. I honestly carry my camera every day. I could forget my wallet/purse and be ok. I forget my camera and well I am not all together. i want every opportunity to practice to become a better photographer.

Editing

No, not at all on this picture.

In my camera bag

canon rebel slr, 18-55 lens, 18-300 lens, sometimes mini tripod, and various props - heart stones, rubber duckie, peace sign, gerome the gnome, eye balls, and whatever little trinkets I HAVE to carry with me, JUST IN CASE i need in a moment for impromptu photo shoot.

Feedback

Patience, time, practice,... what I tell myself every day. There are many times, I take 50-100 pictures and I get home and look and there maybe only 5 good ones. I have learned to delete. I didn't want to let go of the bad pictures, when i realize No one wants to see these. try again, practice makes perfect mom always said. Thank you for opportunity to tell about this picture and my experience. Much much appreciated. I am a work in progress to become a better photographer.
