Behind The Lens

Location

Surfer's Paradise, Queensland, Australia

Time

Sunrise 6 am

Lighting

The sun was rising over the horizon and providing gorgeous light.

Equipment

Nikon D80 with AF-S DX VR Zoon-Nikkor 18 - 200 lens - handheld

Inspiration

While walking on the beach at dawn saw this surfing class. The sunrise was casting amazing shadows and I like the dynamics of the class.

Editing

When I took the picture my aperture was set at 6.3 and the exposure compensation was at -1.7. In post processing I had to adjust the exposure and at the same time keep the rich colours.

In my camera bag

Camera, 2 - 3 lenses, tripod, cable release, lens cleaning cloth, extra batteries, filters.

Feedback

This was achieved by playing with the exposure compensation. Never stop experimenting with your camera.
