Location

Clevedon, North Somerset @ the Seafront

Time

Sunset/Twilight, 16:50 28th December 2013

Lighting

The sun had set far to the left of the Pier and was casting a lovely soft orange glow over the foreground rocks.

Equipment

Tripod, Wireless remote release, Nikon D800, Nikon 16-35mm f/4 Lens, Hitech 0.6 soft edge ND filter.

Inspiration

I live a couple of miles from the Pier and like to pop down when the weather looks good to shoot this rare and classic scene.

Editing

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 4.4, used daytime white balance to warm the image a little, Auto tone and lens correction.

In my camera bag

Nikon D800, Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8, Nikkor 16-35 f/4, Nikkor 50mm f/1.8g, Hitech 0.9 hard edge ND grad, 0.6 soft edge ND grad, 10 stop ND filters, Tripod, Hahnel Giga T Pro wireless remote release, Gloxy Flash, YONGNUO YN-622N-TX i-TTL Wireless Flash Controller, 2x YongNuo YN-622N Wireless TTL Flash Triggers. Mobile phone with ND calculator app.

Feedback

I like to shoot this type of shot from a low angle with lots of foreground interest in the scene, use an ultra-wide lens (16-35mm of full frame) or (10-20mm on a croped APS-C sensor), filters to increase the exposure time. The time of day for the colour but even in the day time with the correct filters you can shoot long exposures and do a mono conversion.
