Location

This photo was taken in Big Corn Island, Nicaragua. I backpacked for four months through Central America, and the Corn Islands were one of my favorite places I visited. They are what one would imagine as the ideal desert island in the Caribbean.

Time

The picture was taken around noon. We had just arrived on the island and went for a walk on the beach.

Lighting

Purely natural light.

Equipment

I used a Nikon 5100 with the kit lens. It was my entry level camera. I have upgraded since.

Inspiration

This dock just looked so perfect, like a desktop background, that I had to set up the perfect shot for it.

Editing

I only touched up the colors, highlights and shadows a little bit. No heavy duty editing was done.

In my camera bag

Today I have the Sony A7sII with a Zeiss 24-70 lens. I mainly work in videography, but I use it for photography as well, and am super satisfied with its results.

Feedback

I like to always remember the rule of thirds, and noticing everything is aligned and in matching ratios throughout the frame, including the edges.
