Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken at “Haarrijnse plas” in Vleuten (NL).

Time

Just before sunset.

Lighting

In first instantie, I was feeling disappointed because I expected the balloon to spoil my sunset composition. Then it came down soon, in direction of my viewing line towards the sun. Then it flew exactly in front of the sun, me taking the picture.

Equipment

Nikon D5100 and 18-105 mm kit zoomlens. No tripod.

Inspiration

A bit of luck was with me that day, I can be completely honest about that. No inspiration specifically, just happy that this situation evolved in front of me.

Editing

No post processing was done on this picture.

In my camera bag

Nowadays: Nikon D780, 24-120 kit zoom lens, 20 Mm prime lens and Samyang 14mm ultra wide lens. Furthermore: ND filters, Remote control, raincover. Tripod.

Feedback

Not really, this shot is a once in a lifetime one, I think. You just need to have the luck that something like this is occuring in your composition.
