Behind The Lens
Location
This phot was taken in the Brecon Beacons National park, near Glyn Neath at a location called Dinas Rock. I am a self taught amateur photographer that has also gleaned experience and knowledge from my colleagues at Ebbw Vale Camera ClubTime
It was mid afternoon, when I took this image, as well as a number of others at this location on this day. The sun was quite high and strong, although given it's location, the sun didn't create too many issues during the long exposureLighting
As mentioned above, although quite strong, it didn't impact to much on the image and using the filters helped. It did light the foreground up quite nicely.Equipment
I used my Nikon D7100 to take the shot, along with my Manfrotto 055 pro4 tripod, pro 3 tilt/pan head, Lee basic holder, Lee little stopper and a o.5 graduated filterInspiration
I love nature and especially waterfalls. Although any Landscape attracts me. This natural waterfall is a great subject for a photograph given the pool and rock that sits within it. Very PhotogenicEditing
This image didn't receive much in the way of post processing to be honest. Obviously transforming it from colour to black and white was the major transformation using light room. a few tweeks of the colour sliders during this process was about all it had.In my camera bag
I normally carry most of my equipment with me. (I don't own too much). I do have two cameras, Nikon D7100 with my Nikkor 18-200mm lens almost permanently fixed to the camera, as well as my Nikon D7000 with a Tokins 11-16mm f2.8 attached to that one. Rather than switch lenses, I just switch cameras. A Lee Basic holder a set of ND filters, Graduated filters, Lee little stopper and a poleriser sums up most of my equipment. I do have a 50mm f1.4 and a 40mm macro lens, but that's about it.Feedback
Firstly, look at the time of day and the weather, too strong a sunlit day will create a bleached bright image, so keep that in mind. look at the various angles and work out the best composition, rules are there to be broken, but the rule of thirds seldom fails.
