Behind The Lens
Location
I took this summer sunset from a beach in Baiona Bay, Galicia, in the north-west of Spain, in the Atlantic coast. Baiona was the first city who had news of the discovery of America by Columbus. Separated by a storm one of the ships reached Bayona three days earlier than Columbus arrived to Lisbon.Time
It was thaken the 8th of August of 2014, at 20.49.07 local time.Lighting
The sun was very brigth and intense (especially at 300f), so to compensate the ligthing I shot at a fast speed and mid aperture, at 1/1000 and f/8.Equipment
The photo was shot with my Canon EOS D70, with a Canon 70-300f L lens,, handheld.Inspiration
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. But the earth was formless and empty. Then God said: Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good. (The Bible, Genesis 1, 1). ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... It is the light what gives consistency and form to the matter. The atoms are practically 100% empty space. The volume occupied by the nucleus plus the volume occupied by the electrons is only 0,0000000000001% (yes, thirteen decimals) of the total volume of any atom. But the photons, as bosons responsible of the electromagnetic interaction between particles, connect internally and continuously the electrons with the nucleus, and also the atoms with other atoms in order to form molecules. The electromagnetism carried by the photons act as if the light were the cement of the matter. Without light in its interior, there would not be solid atoms and molecules; the matter, the whole universe would be an extremely loose soup of bosons and hadrons with c. 0% density. Hence, without light, the matter, the earth would be “formless and empty”, as surprisingly states the first sentence of the Bible. Light is not an outside phenomenon: photons are an essential internal component of the matter. Without them no three-dimensional shape would be possible. Neither the beauty, nor the photography. The matter is literally filled with light. Also at night. To capture it, is all.Editing
Colors are natural, not photoshopped at all. This JPEG image is practically the same than the RAW original. The RAW converter that I used was DXO Optics Pro. The photo was shot at 300f and then cropped 20%.In my camera bag
I only has a Canon EOS 70D, and the following lenses: a Canon 70-300 L, a Sigma 18-35 Art, and a Sigma 50 Art. I use to go everywhere with the three of them.Feedback
Falling in love once and again with our photography work (and actually with any kind of job) is about shifting our mindset from using our work to serve ourselves, to using our work to serve others. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... In order to cacht moments like this you have to sacrify your... soul. Forget about enjoying the scene. Take your camera and shot, shot, shot. Capture the light and the moment... for others to enjoy.
