Behind The Lens

Location

This is Photograph showing a view of Chesil beach from Portland towards Bridport, in the middle ground is the National Sailing Academy with Weymouth above to the right.

Time

This is probably my favourite time of day, late afternoon, as the sun starts to go down you get amazing light and shadows the late winter helped develop amazing cloud formations

Lighting

Late afternoon is a great time to capture shadows

Equipment

This was taken with a Nikon d300, 1 second shutter speed with an 18-70 lens mounted on a tripod

Inspiration

I was looking to capture the natural beauty of the chesil showing some of our coastline

Editing

Edited in photoshop just to adjust the contrast

In my camera bag

I now carry a Nikon D610 with a 24 -80 lens, 70 - 200 f2.8 14-24 wide angle and a 150 - 600

Feedback

The south coast has some amazing scenes be patient and wait for the light just before first light and last light is amazing. If you can experiment with some slower shutter speeds. More importantly enjoy what your doing
