Horse riding and surfing what more could you want
See all

Behind The Lens

Location

North narrabeen beach sydney

Time

Sunrise

Lighting

Shot completely natural light so I could make it a silhouette

Equipment

I used a cannon 5 d mark 2

Inspiration

My friend loved surfing and riding horses so I thought to myself how could I combine them both and so I thought the beach would be perfect !

Editing

I used lightroom 5 and I went for the old Polaroid look and ended up with this

In my camera bag

5D mark 3, 16 - 35mm 2.8 L 50mm 1.2 L 70-200 2.8 L ll light stand and strobe light with soft box

Feedback

Timing of the day is the most important either as the sun is rising or as it is setting to get the best light and colors. Have the sun directly behind the subject so the silhouette is solid.
