Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo at the Mignano dam. there is a wooden sculpture representing a whale. It was installed a few years ago, but now a restoration is urgently needed.Time
it was about noon, but fortunately the clouds made the light less harshLighting
The light is all natural and the photo was taken at noon, perhaps the worst time to take landscape photos, but luckily there were some clouds which made everything more interesting.Equipment
I took this photo with my trusty sony A7iii and laowa 10-18 lens. My favorite daytime landscape lens for a few years nowInspiration
I've wanted to photograph this whale for a long time and the opportunity came on this late spring day as I was getting ready for the storm, which then came.Editing
There's a bit of post-production here: color contrast, I widened the shot a bit by reconstructing the border with artificial intelligence.In my camera bag
when I go out for the landscape I always take the car and the laowa 10-18. I often bring the tripod with the ND64 filter. Sometimes but rarely another target. I like to travel light.Feedback
there is only one advice: take pictures close to home and never take anything for granted and that cannot be photographed. Beautiful things are sometimes within a five-minute walk.
