I love this. My dream is to go to Ireland and this image has a lot to do with how I imagine Ireland to be: green and beautiful.

Location
I took this photo in Ireland in 2013. It was one of the most beautiful churches i ever saw in my life.Time
It was after three o'clock in the evening. I remember driving on the road for eight hours that day. I was trying to reach the sunset at Cliffs of Moher. But when i saw this church i knew that i was going to be half an hour late to my schedule.Lighting
The light was soft, the sky full of clouds. I was very happy because the weather conditions were as i wanted to be. I was ready to create the image i had in mind.Equipment
I used my Canon 5D Mark II, based on my Gitzo tripod. The lens i used was a Carl Zeiss 21mm f/2.8. I also used 3 filters; Lee ND Grad 0.9, Lee Pink 1 Grad and my favourite Lee Big Stopper 10-stop filter. I also used a Canon remote shutter release control.Inspiration
The main theme of this photo is obviously the church. The foreground was very interesting (broken graves). The background was also influential. Generally the whole composition inspired me to stop the car and capture this scene.Editing
I post - processed this photo in Camera Raw mostly (temperature, whites, blacks, contrast). In Photoshop, i did some dodging and burning in order to give a little more sharpness to the whole image. I also used some filters in order to give an HDR look to this photo.In my camera bag
I always carry in my Think Tank Photo bag my Canon 5D Mark II, a Carl Zeiss 21mm f/2.8, a Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art, a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 Mark II, a wide range of Lee and B+W filters, a Canon Remote Shutter Release, 4 16GB CF cards, 4 camera batteries, a compass, a cleaning blower, a Gitzo ball head and a Gitzo tripod by the sideFeedback
