Behind The Lens

Location

The famous Dark Hedges in the heart of Co Antrim in Northern Ireland.

Time

It was taken at around 8am just as the early morning mist was beginning to lift.

Lighting

The lighting was perfect as it was bright which provided the shadows on the road and lit the last of the mist.

Equipment

Nikon D800 with the 70-200mm F2.8 both mounted on a 3 legged thing tripod.

Inspiration

I love spending time exploring the landscapes of Northern Ireland and this location is a particular favourite of mine.

Editing

I did very little post processing just a little adjustment in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

I carry a D800 and D810 and a 24-70 F2.8 and 70-200 F2.8 and a polariser filter and 3 stop ND filter.

Feedback

Be patient and wait for the light.
