Behind The Lens

Location

This Photo was taken at Pemaquid Point Light House, Pemaquid, ME. A location know for Sureal Sunset & Sunrise Scenic.

Time

This pricture was taken on one summer night in ME around 10 PM, in high tide and Rocky Shore location, composition was bit challenging as the light house is very much illuminated with flood lights creating a very high dynamic range

Lighting

Lighting was a complicated at this location as Light house is surrounded with flood lights, I had to get down to rocky slope to hide my camera exposing directly to those flood lights. This location lighting has a wide dynamic range.

Equipment

Canon 70D, Tokina, Manforto tripod.

Inspiration

I have been to this location many times in different times, I have seen some amazing pictures of sunrise, sunset , star trails and milkyway. Summer roses around this light house created a nice foreground, with slanting slope of rocky shore, Milky way visible behind the light house aligning with light house.

Editing

Lot of post processing went into this picture, Its a combination of different exposure, Sky Exposure, f2.8, 20 secs (4 images stacked to get less noise) Lighthouse exposure : its a long exposure with noise reduction on, f9.0 2 mins. Focus stacked with summer roses.

In my camera bag

Canon 70d , Tokina 11-16 f2.8, Canon 50mm, Canon 75-300

Feedback

Just be safe , Pay attention to high tide, This location is very calm but know for rouge ways, Lifes have been lost. Show respect to Mother nature.
