Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at the lighthouse at Gibraltar at the junction of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.Time
The shots taken late morning on a bright and sunny dayLighting
This shot is a cropped portion of a larger coloured photo. I had a vision of this shot so I cropped the original photo and applied a fine at look filter.Equipment
Shot was handheld with Nikon D800 E, Sigma 24-105 lens.Inspiration
I don’t get to many lighthouse locations and the full photo captured the short distance between Gibraltar and Morocco. While studying the photo I was struck by the thought of a cropped fine art version focusing solely on the lighthouse.Editing
I don’t typically do a lot of editing of my shots. In this shot I did some tweaking using the Tune Image tool in Snapseed. Also used the Healing to hide some small lens flare blemishes.In my camera bag
On my travels I typically have my Nikon 800E and my iPhone camera and a small manfrotto tripod.Feedback
What I learned from the original picture was to always study your photos with the possibility of finding one or more shots embedded in your single shot.
