Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken along the Sorrento coast of Italy, in mid-June. I was in the area leading a group of students on an educational trip.

Time

shortly before sunset.

Lighting

This was the first in a series I had hoped to catch the blue flash as the sun fell below the horizon. I didn't catch the flash but i did end up with this photo which I feel is the best in the series

Equipment

This was shot on an SLR with 35-55 lens

Inspiration

I had been sitting in the hotel watching a soccer game and decided to grab my bag and take a walk along the water to see if I could capture some local fishermen. I had wandered to the end of a breakwater and noticed the marine layer and the sun dipping into it during sunset.

Editing

I Adjusted for sharpness and ran a few color passes to make the colors pop more

In my camera bag

I normally carry a telephoto lens, wide-angle, and a utility 35-55. Several memory cards and batteries

Feedback

The Sorrento coast of Italy and the island of Capri has had some great sunsets just be patient and willing to walk the hills to get to the right spot.
