Bacon Lettuce Photo

Well, I had another thing in mind when I took this picture. This shot was practically a mistake. I hated how noisy it was, the fact that my little sister was a silhouette and the horizon not being aligned. I almost deleted it but I then remembered the last time i hated a picture of mine and how popular had it been after editing so i thought “why not?”

It was taken in Aruba, my favorite place in the world, specially to shoot sunsets.
I had just seen a picture of a little girl jumping with an umbrella in her hand and a beautiful sunset behind her on my pc and wanted to do something like that so i bought an umbrella and went to the beach that afternoon to wait for the sun to set.

After i edited this picture, i realized how much i loved it.. It was so different and nice! Everything that i hated before i loved it now. I felt proud of myself and my work!
Hope u love this shot as much as i do

I really wanted to show a sense of peace in the image and I really thought that the longer my exposure was the better the image would show what I was trying to express. It shows more time and more depth into where it was taken and the atmosphere of the picture. It came out pretty awesome.

This photo was shot at the Honolulu Family Festival and it was part of the activity for a photo workshop I was attending. There were no tricks to this shot, it just required a little patience.
I walked around the ride a few times to find the right angle, from where faces could be captured. I also had to wait a few rounds for the ride to be filled with a little more people.
“Click” and I walked away. I think I was very lucky.

Shot with:
Canon EOS 30D
Canon 50mm f/1.4 USM
