Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the harbor of Rotterdam

Time

The photo was taken on November 22, 2015 at about 6.00 pm

Lighting

The lighting was quite a chalenge, it was a rainy and windy evening and I did not have my own tripod with me but luckily I could borrow one from a friend. Exposure is 8 seconds at f 8.0 and using 100 ISO.

Equipment

For this particular shot I was using my walk-around camera, the Sony RX100 mark II in stead of my usual gear, the Sony 7R mark II

Inspiration

The colors and reflections in the water are very attractive, combined with the nice skyline of Rotterdam city

Editing

The only post processing I did was in Lightroom ... shadows and highlights

In my camera bag

Sony 7R mark II Zeiss 24-70 f 4 Zeiss 16-35 f 4 Sony G 70-200 f 4 Sony RX100 mark II

Feedback

Bring a sturdy tripod and a remote release trigger. Long exposures give the water a silky look and allow you to use a small aperture which is good for depth of field and overall sharpness. Use a low ISO setting ... 100 - 400 ... in order to reduce the digital noise.
