Has the inspiration of an Ansel Adams composition in awe, but lacks the grey scale densitometry of his high and low ends.

Behind The Lens

Location

It was taken on the south coast in the county of Dorset at a place named Durdle Door,that coastline is very prehistoric.

Time

It taken in the month of October,mid afternoon.

Lighting

October is a good month for taking images as the sun is low in the sky.

Equipment

Canon EOS 600 film camera using slide film,I used a 20m/m wide angle lens to make the most of those clouds.

Inspiration

The cloud formation,I climbed high above the beach to include the grasses on the cliffs.

Editing

Slide was scanned using a Nikon coolskan 5000 at home,then processed on computer using Photoshop.

In my camera bag

I have EOS 5 d camera ,EF 20m/m, EF 24-75 m/m lens, EF 70-200 m/m lens, EF ,100-400 m/m lens, Speedlight 550ex, I also have a range of Lee Graduated filters,plus a big stopper,Canon extender ef1.4 and ef 2x and a Manfrotto Tripod,Sekonic Lightmeter

Feedback

I enjoy landscape photography for that you need LIGHT, COMPOSITION, SUBJECT. for me I enjoy the first light of the day,summer months that means getting up very early,but it is well worth the effort.When you see a Landscape that you like first take what you see,then look at it again and see if you can improve the composition,then lastly look at how the light falls on the landscape,are you there at the right time of the day or even the right time of the year.If taking seascapes you need to check tide tables
