Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my hometown, which is Ciutadella, in Menorca. It's a lighthouse in Artrutx cape in the south western part of the island.

Time

As you can see, the sun was setting. It was taken in mid November, so it was around 6:30pm Spanish time.

Lighting

Autumn sunsets in Menorca are amazing, it is not hard to find a day with good light to shoot. What makes this picture unique are the clouds beneath the lighthouse.

Equipment

I used my little travel camera, which is a Sony DSC-HX60. No other equipment was involved.

Inspiration

This lighthouse is placed in one of my favorite spots in my hometown, so I like to go there when I'm in town. I usually bring the camera with me, and sometimes you can capture things like this.

Editing

I raised the saturation to add drama to those clouds, always trying to match the real colors that the scene was offering.

In my camera bag

When I'm traveling I usually pick my Sony DSC-HX60 and a GoPro Hero. But when weight is not an issue, I also pick my Nikon d60 with an 18-105mm lens.

Feedback

Always try to bring a camera with you. Also, as many photographers say, be patient and wait for the right time to take the picture.
