Location
This image was taken at Lucinda Qld Australia. The jetty to the left is the longest continuous conveyor belt jetty in the world. It is 6km out to the end, it only does one thing - load sugar into big boats.Time
Very early, the sun is just about to rise.Lighting
The light is compliments of mother nature.Equipment
This image was captured with a Canon EOS 650D with a Samyang 8mm 3.5 lens, mounted on my 20 year old manfrotto 190 tripod.Inspiration
The amazing scenery!Editing
Post production is minimal for this image. This is one single image, I've altered the contrast, saturated the colours and pulled a little bit of detail out of the dark sections.In my camera bag
This was a fly away trip, so I was forced to actually only take what I could fit in the bag. I will always have a camera body plus a 50mm, 18-55mm, 8mm and a 70-300mm lens. Filters - polarizer and ND (my fave is the the B+W +10 stop), I have a 4 point cross screen as well, you never know when you might need one of those. A wireless remote shutter release, camera cable extra cards and extra batteries. Cleaning gear, lens cloth, lens cleaner and the ever faithful air rocket (could not live without it). In the other bag, 3 canon 600EX speedlights, 1 ST-E3-RT + my manfrotto 190 (upgraded to the current model now) and two other lightweight manfrotto tripods.Feedback
Get up early, the sun waits for no one. You need a good sturdy tripod, movement will ruin the shot. Don't be afraid of manual mode on you camera - this won't happen if let the camera make all the decisions for you. Take as many images as you can, bracket your exposures so have more to work with. Always shoot you landscapes in RAW and learn how to work with it, and keep on learning. I haven't stopped yet!
