Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Waterbury-Oxford Airport in Oxford, CT. I drove to the airport to take pictures of my car that I had just purchased, and got caught up with watching the airplanes taxiing, taking off, and landing.

Time

This picture was taken early afternoon on a very clear day. As I am advancing in my photography skills, I have learned this is not the best natural lighting condition.

Lighting

It was a very clear day and I was just hoping to capture the beauty of what I saw right in front of me.

Equipment

This was shot on my LG cell phone. I have since purchased a Kodak Pixpro AZ528 to advance in my photography hobby.

Inspiration

I came to the airport for what I felt was a cool location to take pictures of my car. My love of aviation drew my attention to watching the planes, so my focus turned to capturing the airport traffic.

Editing

Yes, I have been learning editing techniques and was able to adjust the sky and ground separately to bring out more vividness in the colors.

In my camera bag

This photo was shot with my cell phone, but I have since purchased a Kodak Pixpro AZ528. I have also ordered a new lightweight tripod to keep in my car for when the need arises.

Feedback

My only advice from what I have learned is to always keep your eyes open. If a scene captures your eye, snap some pictures for later review. You never know when you might capture an award winning shot.
