Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was triggered In Italy , in Salento. After many trials and tests I got this effect that I love.

Time

This picture was taken during a very rainy day.. as indeed were all last summer. with my girlfriend decided to take a walk on the waterfront; with her immersed in her reading I have dedicated myself to my passion.. long exposures! so after a few tries I found this shot, for me I would say exciting. It was taken July 30, 2014 at around 7:00 pm.

Lighting

Obviously converting to black and white has changed a little bit the " skin " of the shot.. but the light was incredible, the clouds of a black miaccioso and really fast over my testa..qualche droplet but I could not resist. stand firmly and snap!

Equipment

I used a nikon D3200 with token 11-16 f/ 2.8. A tripod, remote control for remote shooting and a lee big stopper to give the sky that movement.

Inspiration

Certainly the way I see the photograph has great influence. I love long exposures, the sky full of clouds very charged. As soon as I saw the hope of being able to conclude something I did not hesitate. I think I've spent at least 45 minutes in my world . thanks to my girlfriend for her patience!

Editing

The photos were processed in Lightroom and finished in photoshop. I joined with layer masks, dumping out some details . I darkened the sky and some converted to black and white.

In my camera bag

I can not help but take with me: my nikon d700 , nikon 18-35 gf 3.5 - 4.5 , and Nikon 80-200 ED. My filter sets nd and gnd , the flash ( because you never know ) and triggher.

Feedback

If you like landscape photography, you can not help but bring always behind your tripod. especially if you like long exposure then equip yourself with a set of filters and nd gnd and your photos will change the face! Patience will be your virtue. Observe and still observed, the only way you can catch the right moment and do the right picture!
