Location
This picture was taken in a small town in Liguria, Italy. Called Ospedaletti. He is known for its tranquility and beauty.Time
I remember I had a great day with my girlfriend; when she came home I waited up late to wait for the right time, which fortunately arrived. I turned around and I saw these beautiful clouds behind me. I positioned the tripod and started to take a series of photos to capture the full dynamic range of the scene. It was taken 04.01.2015 at 8:01 pm .Lighting
As it regards the light I tried to keep as much as possible the colors truthful. All aided by the light of a full moon that night it was a big help. This is what my eyes have seen , and I assure you that I was fascinated. Maybe I 'll be back in September and I hope to do more photos like this!Equipment
This was shot on a Nikon D700 with 35-70 nikon 3.3 (a lens old enough !) Tripod manfrotto 055 xprob with head three-way.Inspiration
I always wanted to shoot this kind of scene, looking at pictures of many good photographers. Resume a coastal landscape with the sunset and the full moon together! So I decided that I would try to overtake me. Many shots are joined together in photoshop. In fact the part below was made with more separate shots, to make that effect blur of the waves.Editing
Of course I used photoshop and lightroom for this post . I only say that there are more than 25 shots merged together. In fact I was very close to the scene and more the only goal I had with me was a 35 mm. So I was forced to take to the bottom with the tripod, while for the top free hand , hoping to get it right! Once arrived home work lasted about two days. After joining all the photos I tried to give un'pò tone to the photo and to bring out the beautiful wave movement.In my camera bag
I always carry my nikon d700, a 18-35 f 3.5 - 4.5 nikkor and a Nikkor 80-200 f 2.8. The Manfrotto tripod, a series of filters Lee gnd. Bigstopper and the little stopper Lee. My backpack lowenpro great because compact and lightweight yet roomy.Feedback
Just a lot of patience, joy for your eyes and the desire to shoot. These are the only ways to capture images like this. Oh I forgot... and a lot of patience when you get home and after starting photoshop! Good luck! See you soon.
