Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was taken of my cousins swimming out over some reefs in this small little cove.

Time

Late morning.

Lighting

Being directly over them vs at an angle helped keep the light reflection to a minimum. Technically should’ve used an ND filter, but I didn’t bring one.

Equipment

DJI Mavic air

Inspiration

The coral reefs made this shot have a really different look.

Editing

Just basic lighting & sharpening.

In my camera bag

An ND filter for color pop & sun glare flying mid day.

Feedback

Just be safe! Check advisories in the area.
