Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph captures a serene moment on a beach in George. It was taken on our first day there, as we strolled along the shore just before sunset. The soft, warm light creates a peaceful atmosphere, inviting us to pause and take in the beauty of the moment.

Time

As we strolled along the beach, the sun was slowly sinking towards the horizon, casting a warm golden light across the sand and sea. Although it was just a casual evening walk, I couldn't help but feel mesmerized by the beauty of the scene. Even though I had only brought my phone with me and not my camera, I knew I had to capture this moment. The photo may not be professional-grade, but it serves as a precious reminder of that magical first day in George.

Lighting

I was not planning on taking a picture but it was such a tranquil moment during the golden hour. The soft, warm light also helps to create a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere.

Equipment

I hadn't intended to take a picture, the tranquil moment I experienced during the golden hour was simply too beautiful to ignore. The soft, warm light cast a serene and relaxed atmosphere that was hard to resist capturing.

Inspiration

As I strolled along, the breathtaking scenery before me filled me with a sense of peace and calmness. The fresh air and salty breeze only added to the already serene ambiance. Being a photography enthusiast, I couldn't help but capture the moment and freeze it in time.

Editing

Since I'm not a professional photographer and lack editing skills, I prefer to leave my photos raw and unedited. I believe that the natural essence of the moment is best preserved when the image remains unaltered.

In my camera bag

My camera bag is always packed with the essentials for any photography outing. Of course, the most important item is my trusty Nikon D3400 camera, which is always at the ready. In addition, I carry both my 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses, along with a spare battery and an extra memory card. With these tools in hand, I'm always prepared to capture the perfect shot.

Feedback

I prefer to follow my intuition and capture images that catch my eye. Whether it's a stunning sunset, the beauty of a beach, or the majesty of trees, I let my instincts guide me in selecting the perfect shot. For me, photography is all about capturing the essence of the moment and preserving it for future enjoyment.
