Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken after a failed expedition into the World Heritage Area of Tasmania, we set out to find a set of poorly documented falls but failed to make it in time. So on the return trip home we decided to stop in and see Parsons Falls, glad we did it saved the trip !

Time

The image was taken at last light atop Parsons Falls.

Lighting

I set this image up about 20mins before the sun ducked behind the ridge, I had a feeling that if I timed the shot right I would really elevate the scene to the next level.

Equipment

This was shot on a Nikon D610 using a Samyang f/2.8 14mm, Manfrotto BeFree Tripod, NISI 150mm filter holder with HD Polariser and GND0.9 Filters.

Inspiration

I really enjoy a classic golden light landscape that excludes the sunset itself. There was a Tasmania landscape photographer by the name of Olegas Trunchanas who really nailed style and had an unmatched work ethic to match.

Editing

This particular image is a panoramic image comprising of 3 pictures from there I dropped the highlights and boosted the shadows to balance the scene from there it was just a matter of correcting the white balance and some split tone adjustment to bring out the golden light in the image.

In my camera bag

In my Lowepro Fastpack I have a heap of room so I can be a gear hoarder at times, I normally carry my Nikon D610 body, Samyang f/2.8 14mm, Samyang f/1.4 85mm, Nikon f/1.8 50mm and a backup D5500 with f/5.6 55-200mm. Along with all this I carry my NISI filter kit for the 14mm Samyang and screw on filters for the 50mm Nikon. I always have my Manfrotto BeFree Tripod, Giottos cleaning kit and finally a note pad and pen (never leave on a photographic trip without)

Feedback

Photographing remote areas such as this spot in the Tasmanian wilderness you can never plan a trip 100%, if a location you think will work doesn't then take a deep breath and keep on moving because some of my favorite shoots have been by accident after a failed location. Also always be calm and plan out your image visualize what you want to showcase and then go about setting your gear up and finding the right position and framing for the shot, be patient and wait for the right lighting or moment and press that shutter button
