This photograph was in my own Top 5 (out of 110 entries) for my Panoramic Landscapes Photo Challenge (winner announced later tonight). I feel that this is a great use of the pano format. Beautiful!

Behind The Lens

Location

I made this photo of the coast of the Black Sea town of Sozopol, Bulgaria.

Time

July 7, 2015 at 10:51 PM

Lighting

The rocks are illuminated by the lights of the old house behind me.

Equipment

NIKON D810, Zeiss Distagon T* 2.8/15 ZF.2

Inspiration

The beautiful natural rocks inspired me for this photo.

Editing

In post-processing I used photoshop for contrasting MilkyWay and reducing the brightness of the rocks.

In my camera bag

D810, zeiss 15 f/2.8, nikkor 16-35 f/4 and Singh-Ray filters

Feedback

My advise for night shots is use of good equipment and the lowest possible iso.
