Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at a small beach that only appears with large tides in the city of Cadiz, southern Spain. Low tide and the special light of sunset made me decide to go down and take the picture.

Time

At dusk, it is the best time to take pictures at that location.

Lighting

The light in the afternoon was spectacular. I searched the reflection of blue sky in the pond to compensate orange tones in the frame.

Equipment

My old Nikon D90 and Nikkor 18-200 lens. No filters, no flashes, no diffusers... nothing else.

Inspiration

I was inspired by the afternoon's light and place's singular beauty. It is a place where I often go to relax and avoid me the noise of the city.

Editing

Curves, levels and phocus. Nothing else.

In my camera bag

At the time I took the photo I used to go with my reflex loaded and several lenses (Nikon D90, 18-200 mm., 50 mm. f1.8, 85 mm. f1.8) A while now I only accompanied by my little Fujifilm X20.

Feedback

Just a tip: be patient. I think that's the main photographer's virtue.
