Kianna Vinson – Sunset at Tega Cay –

Welcome to Shutter Notes, our weekly community feature. Shutter Notes gives you the chance to get to know our community members a bit better. Each member will share a little bit about themselves and their chosen image.

Kianna is a photographer from North Carolina. She is an IT analyst part-time and a part-time photographer and jewelry maker. She has been a photographer for eight years.

Why and how Kianna created this image

Kianna wanted to depict the peace and tranquility of nature with this image. Sharing this image shows peaceful sunset, yet also shows pollution. That cloud is not a cloud in real-time it is actually smoke coming from a factory. Also, she wanted this image to depict how the earth we love is quickly dying due to human greed.

She used Lightroom to slightly increase the lighting as in the original image the water was super dark. Kianna also said that the next time she goes to photograph the sunset, she’ll bring her tripod.
