Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken in Sydney on Port Jackson harbour. I knew the night before that there would be an opportunity to get a sunrise with a reasonable amount of colour in the fog. This image was not my focus of attention but is a perfect example of looking around the spot where you are working. I turned around and saw this opportunity suddenly and pulled the camera up and took the image

Time

7 am on a winters day

Lighting

Maximise your chances of using something like fog/mist to your advantage by having a wider space in front of you to capture that light effect. This advice should be taken and used on a case by case basis. It is not a rule.

Equipment

Leica M9 with a 35mm F2 lens ISO 160 1/15 sec at f/5.7 Manfrofo Landscape Tripod

Inspiration

The opportunity to experiment with colour on fog

Editing

Not really, just balancing the contrast out and cropping.

In my camera bag

Leica Moncochrom with a f/0.95 50mm lens Leica type 240 with a f/2 35mm lens Leica Q2 Lee 160 mm filter kit with small, big stoppers and some ND grads Hasselblad XPAN2 (film) with a 23mm and 45 mm lenses

Feedback

Look around you. Sometimes there is so much more going on behind you that is a missed opportunity. Also, planning is everything.
