Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in one of my most favourite places in Algarve. At that time the "Arch of Albandeira" was not as famous as it is today with the popularity on social media.

Time

It was taken during the night (between 11pm and 2am).

Lighting

As you can see, it was taken during the night.

Equipment

This was shot with the old Sony NEX-C3 and the 18-55 kit lens, a tripod and steel wool in a manual egg beater

Inspiration

This is a place where I usually do to do astrophotography. And I wanted to shoot a steel wool long exposure... And this is what I achieved!

Editing

This is a single shot and was lightly processed in Lightroom. It wasn't manipulated in photoshop.

In my camera bag

There are 2 lenses that are always in my bag, no matter what: tha 16-35 GM and the 85mm 1.8. And usually I pack the 35 1.8 and the 100-400 too (to shot surfing or wildlife! you never know what's gonna happen!!). And of course, my Sony A7 III and sometimes, if it's work related, I also bring the backup Sony a6000.

Feedback

Watch out for the sparkles! You dont want to start a wildfire! Be very careful and plan your position and movements. And enjoy! Shoot a lot os long exposures and learn with it.
