Behind The Lens
Location
Thi photo was taken in my Hometown, Ericeira, Portugal. Forte Milreu (Milreu Fort) is inserted in a protected area and the first surfing reserve in Europe and second in the WorldTime
The photo was taken at the golden time and luckily had raining moments before.Lighting
Ericeira has magic sunset and it's a matter of choosing the right place in advance and have the good fortune that nature helps with the clouds and rain in this case. All the rock zone reflects much light in which each picture is different in each sunset, even if the subject is the sameEquipment
I use a Canon 7D with the Samyang 8mm F3.5 Fish eye with a tripodInspiration
Having Ericeira a magic sunset is an issue as already said choosing the sites in advance. In this case the area has many subjects to photograph, of course I went with the intention of Fort but if the light reflected on the rocks by the back had not helped always have the beachesEditing
Yes, a type of editing in 5 minutes. The colors are usually already very strong and lens 8mm helps a lot to get the maximum of light information. Down the highlights and shadows to have a maximum of homogeneity between colorsIn my camera bag
If shooting sport only take the Canon 100-400 and 7D but if go in adventure mode take two more lenses and filters, in addition to tripod and if necessary umbrella. The lenses add Samyang 8mm and Samyang 35mm more flash and triggersFeedback
Well! Ericeira has great sunsets and being a coastal zone is a matter of choosing the place in advance and wait for the right time. Hopefully time helps with some clouds
