Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in Balchik Bulgaria. This is my first sunrise photography i ever did with a professional camera and equipment. Back then i was with my ex-wife as and inspiration for the capture of this beautiful shot.

Time

I get up early in the morning 4-5 AM to go and wait to capture this beautiful moment. There was only us and maybe some fisherman boats.

Lighting

You should wait for the perfect moment and lighting of the scene. I have to change the position a few times to get the perfect shot out of the few.

Equipment

This picture was shot with old canon EOS 20D with EF 17-40 f4.0 L lens on top of a benro tripod.

Inspiration

I always want to try to capture the sunrise or sunset an this is the first time that i did that. I'm more of a portrait photographer but i want to try something new.

Editing

I didn't know much of the post processing of landscapes back then. I edited the raw file in photoshop for accurate lighting set up. I try to use as little post processing as possible if i can.

In my camera bag

I always shoot with canon but now i'm i have a sony camera because of the weight. I want to have something light so i can carry it around with me all day long if i need to. I have with me now Sony A6000 the kit lens and 50mm 1.8 for portraits and low light if i need to and some flash from metz.

Feedback

You have to be there to capture the image because the moment is only a few minutes and if you hesitate you will lose it and have to wait another day or may be more to try again. I will not hesitate to try this again in the future so i want to encourage the others to go and try it.
