Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Beack 16, Rye Back Beach, Victoria, Australia. It is well known for photographers. The rock formation is known as Dragons Head..

Time

The picture was taken around 5pm. The light coming from the West and the tide being out gives this rock formation and flowing water a nice blue tinge.

Lighting

Light was fading as iot was getting towards sunset..

Equipment

I used Canon 5dmk2, Canon 16-35, Really Right Stuff ball head, Induro tripod and Lee big stopper filter..

Inspiration

I always loved seeing the long exposures of water. This formation at low tide has been documented hundreds of times. Everyone puts their own spin on the location and I guess I wanted to see what I could get out of it as well..

Editing

Yes. All my processing is in Lightroom. Only the basic stuff like bringing down highlights, boosting shadows and sharpening what looks dull..

In my camera bag

I always have my Canon 5dmk2, CANON 7D2, 16-35, Lee Filters, Canon 100-400, microfibre towel..

Feedback

My advice would be to keep an eye on the tide times and what time the sunset will hit. Knowing these are crucial to getting the shot you plan in your head. Most of all take plenty of shots. Sometimes the one you thought was a throw away can be your best of the shoot!
