Behind The Lens

Location

Macari, San Vito Lo Capo, NW Sicily Italy

Time

Sunset, about 8 p.m.

Lighting

Sunset natural light - f/16 - very long exposure 26 sec - ND filter - Dynamic range slightly expanded

Equipment

Fuji Finepix X100 + Manfrotto Tripod + ND Filter

Inspiration

This is one of the most beautiful places in Sicily. This promontory and this gulf are even described in the Aeneid (Virgil). I find it extremely fascinating that this corner of the earth is no different than what it was like two thousand years ago

Editing

Moderate post processing. Contrast, curves, gamma, etc.

In my camera bag

Actually I use a Leica Q2, a Finepix X100F, and a LUMIX Micro 4/3 G series + 6 lenses

Feedback

In order to achieve this effect (blur waves and possibly sketches) it's essential to use the tripod. Extra long exposures. Sometimes, as alternative, I proceed with a stack of many shots (merged in "mean" mode or "media" mode)
