Behind The Lens
Location
That one was taken at a Corsican beach, on the east coast of Corsica (Costa Serena) in November 2015. At that time of the year the beach is pretty deserted.Time
In the middle of the afternoon. The sun is still a little high but that light is not hard at this time of the year. That makes a nice blue sky.Lighting
Daylight fill flash sync at 1/5000sec.Equipment
Nikon D700, SB-600 and Nikkor 20mm F:2.8.Inspiration
That little guy saved my life. I just shoot him non stop, everywhere, anytime.Editing
The basics: levels and contrast.In my camera bag
Any of my DSLR that has a charged battery, and the first lens that I can reach. I don't have a bag. Bags mean heavy stuff, too much stuff, and spending too much time worrying about that stuff; I don't really care about equipment: I just shoot what I see with what I have at that moment. When I go specifically to shoot something special, I just carry the minimum things I think will be needed.Feedback
Autofocus can get a little lost on fast moving animals even when using a 20mm lens. Opening at F/8 allows to fix that issue. Then, a little boost of ISOs to 1250 to make sure 1/5000sec will give a good exposure with the fill flash and it's done.
