Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo during a road trip in iceland. The little village Núpsstaður consists of 15 houses, this little church and 3 turf farm houses which are in ruins.

Time

We came there in the afternoon, what was pretty perfect.

Lighting

light is always perfect in iceland - except winter ;-)

Equipment

Canon EOS 5D MarkIII + Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III + Canon EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM + Sigma 12-24mm f/4,5 - 5,6 EX DG + Sigma 28-300mm + Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM + Manfrotto M-Y 732CY Carbon Tripod

Inspiration

When you see this little church you can not you get around to photographing it.

Editing

Only a little post processing, because the sky and the clouds were not that crisp on this day

In my camera bag

Canon EOS 5D MarkIV + Canon EF24-70mm f/2.8L USM + Sigma 12-24mm f/4,5 - 5,6 EX DG + Sigma 28-300mm + Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM + Manfrotto M-Y 732CY Carbon Tripod

Feedback

Today - 5 years later - i would be glad if I had made a long-term exposure on a tripod, too. I think that would better bring out the cloud atmosphere and the lonely church
