Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken just before sunrise at Currumbin Beach, Queensland Australia. Such a beautiful location and popular with many photographers.

Time

My wife kicked me out of bed at 4am so we could drive an hour to get to location in time for the sunrise. Not generally a morning person and sometimes I need a little motivation to get up but definitely one of my favourite times of the day.

Lighting

I love the way the light highlights the sand and wash from the surf leaving patterns around the rocks.

Equipment

I used a Canon EOS 5D mk3, tripod and wireless remote (no filters).

Inspiration

I just love nature in every way, especially when the sun kisses the the sky and for the very first time of the day.

Editing

I generally take most of my landscape photos in RAW format so I used a little post-processing in Adobe Lightroom 5.

In my camera bag

When going out out to do landscape shoots I'm usually carrying my very much loved Canon 5D mk3, 17-40mm and 70-200mm lenses, tripod and wireless remote. So need to get hold of some graduated ND filters, there has been so many times I could have used them.

Feedback

Get up early and get motivated. It's well worth it even if you don't get the shot.
