When I found out that there was a supermoon Yesterday & Today I grabbed my camera & I waited for the right moment. It did not take me long to

I was not sure if this was going to become a Tornado or just a weird looking Cloudy Carrot.

Behind The Lens

Location

This stunning photo was captured in Denia at sunset, the sky is awash with warm, fiery shades of red and orange, creating a mesmerizing gradient that stretches from the horizon to the zenith. The sun, in its final moments before disappearing below the horizon, casts a soft, golden glow across the tranquil waters of the Mediterranean Sea. The reflection of the sun's fading light on the sea's surface forms a shimmering pathway, leading your eye towards the horizon where the sun meets the water, painting the scene with an ethereal, almost dreamlike quality. The water appears calm and serene, mirroring the serene ambiance of the moment. The composition of the photo is balanced, with the mountains serving as a powerful backdrop to the serene seascape in the foreground. The juxtaposition of nature's fiery sunset palette against the steadfast mountains creates a harmonious and awe-inspiring scene that encapsulates the beauty of Denia at dusk.

Time

It was around 21:00 pm

Lighting

As you move your gaze upwards, you'll notice the silhouette of the majestic mountains in the background. These rugged peaks, tinged with a deep purple hue, provide a striking contrast to the vibrant red tones of the sky and sea. Their jagged contours are softened by the fading light, creating a sense of depth and dimension.

Equipment

I employed the sole camera in my possession, the Nikon Coolpix 950, while maintaining a firm and unwavering handheld grip on it.

Inspiration

I ventured to the beach with my camera, eager to capture the potential beauty of the captivating sunsets at this Mediterranean location Denia. Anticipating the enchanting scenery, I felt a certain inevitability that this remarkable image would manifest itself, for one can never tired of witnessing such breath-taking sunsets.

Editing

No post-processing at all. This is the real deal.

In my camera bag

As mentioned before I only employ the sole camera in my possession, the Nikon Coolpix 950. Sometimes, I use a tripod if needed but that is it.

Feedback

Be intuitive about what to capture. Look around you because sometimes we miss things that are actually in front but for whatever reason we cannot see it. This maybe to do with the fact that we have before taking the picture, a preconception of what we are supposed to capture but our brains trick us to believe in that, while missing what is really important. Try different things and think outside the box. Be alone because this will get you more focus on what you are trying to capture.
