Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture in Torre Del Lago Puccini, Lucca, Tuscany. Near where I work there is a beach ( not a very good one), the sunset on winter is very early, so it fits very well this location!

Time

During a windy and rainy sunset, at about 16:40, after work.

Lighting

The lightning is very important to create the right atmosphere to interact with the scene. It was a stormy weather and the clouds were a perfect scenary. It was a pretty windy and rainy so the light was strongly perfect.

Equipment

I used my camera Nikon D750 and Tokina at 16mm. I changed recently camera so I am using a Tokina Dx for now. Without tripod and anything else.

Inspiration

When I was working after a morning storm, I saw some clouds coming over the sea. It was a windy and cold afternoon, so I understood that a storm was coming. So after work I decided to go to the beach, the light was perfect, just a little before the sunset.

Editing

With photoshop I adjust curve line, the contrast.

In my camera bag

My kit usually includes: the Nikon D3200, Tokina 11-16mm, Nikkor 50mm f / 1.4 G, nikkor 105mm f / 2.8, ND filters, a tripod (Manfrotto 055XPROB with Junior Geared Head), lens cleaning kit, a torch, multipurpose kit, a remote control, Plamp,spare batteries, spare memory card

Feedback

I have only one advice. We have always to take with us our reflex. Every moment could be a perfect moment to take some shots!
