Location
I took this photo at a beach located in Esmoriz, Portugal, that is known as Barrinha de Esmoriz.Time
During sunset, moments before the sun disappeared from the horizon.Lighting
In this photo i wanted to give the idea of a falling sun, so i have waited to have the sun above the horizon, and the clouds right on top of it. With the soft light of the golden hour, the shadows where minimised.Equipment
Canon 50D, with Tokina 11-16, cpl filter, tripod and a remote cable.Inspiration
The idea of the end of one more day, and the idea of a dark night that was about to come, was my inspiration.Editing
Some local adjustments, increase of contrast, highlights reduction and conversion to B&W.In my camera bag
A Canon 50D, tokina 11-16, Sigma 17-50, Helios 44m, Canon 100mm macro, Canon 70-300, cpl and nd filters, remote cable with intervalometer, two speedlights, a giottos tripod, batteries and memory cardsFeedback
Have an idea before have the right conditions to shot, plan the photo and prepare the gear. Then you just need to wait for the right light! Search for interesting spots, and go out to shot when the weather have the rainy look.
