Location
The photo was taken on the beach in Mexico.Time
It was early afternoon.Lighting
The sun was very bright, so no additional lighting was required. I just waited for a good angle and took one picture.Equipment
Olympus E-620 camera with Zuiko ED Digital 18-180mm f/3.5-6.3 lens.Inspiration
Perfect moment, perfect lighting, interesting subject. I did not plan it - it was pure luck.Editing
No, this is one of the rare images I just converted from raw format to jpeg without editing.In my camera bag
These days I use Olympus OM-D E-M1 camera; mostly with 12-40mm f/2.8 lens. I still use 18-180mm f/3.5-6.3 lens. I also carry 45mm F1.8, 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 and 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Olympus lenses. I use Olympus FL-600R and Metz 44 AF-2 wireless flashes.Feedback
Keep your eyes open - you never know when you have a chance to take a good picture.
