Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on my family vacation to beach in Galveston Texas, I went to the shore alone that morning while the family slept in.

Time

It was around 6:40 am when the sun just started to come up right behind pleasure pier.

Lighting

No lighting needed it was all natural lighting from the sun and the reflection off the sand.

Equipment

What I've used to take this was with my D5600 with the 18-55mm kit lens, no tripod, no flash, and a little post editing in adobe lightroom.

Inspiration

What inspired me to take this photo was that I wanted to capture and remember the scene on how it made me feel at that exact moment and every time I look at this photo I can share and still feel how I felt when I took it. It was so peaceful, warm, calming and serene.

Editing

Yes since I shoot only in raw I do a little post processing in Adobe lightroom.

In my camera bag

Since I'm an amateur photographer/hobbyist I pack only a few things like my main body camera with kit lens, a gopro 9 just incase I want shots near water or under water, brushes for cleaning my gear and ND filters.

Feedback

The only advice I can give is to say get out and shoot, don't let laziness stop you from being the early bird and rob you of your opportunity to be recognized.
