Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Nirvana Beach, Padang, West Sumatera, Indonesia. The beach location is not so far from my home, only about 15 km and is easily accessible due to its position just 200 mt from the roadside, therefore Nirwana Beach is our favorite place for my friends and myself to relax and enjoy the beautiful beaches and the sunset and this also to practice my hobby in landscapes photography.

Time

This photo was taken at dusk shortly after sunset on Friday, January 22, 2016 at around 19:13 pm

Lighting

To get enough light, I should be keen to see the direction of the fall sunshine and taking advantage to the maximum for all the photos I did not use flash landscapes.

Equipment

Every time I see this photo I recall there were excitement experience at the time when taking this photo. It was afternoons at the time, the sky is clear and the weather is great for taking the sunset. Because I do not want to miss a moment, I rushed of my camera bag and tripod then off we go directly to the location. Arriving at the beach I immediately opened the bag to take the camera . But it turned out in my camera bag only kit lens and filter. I had left the body cameras and the wide lens that is mounted at home. I remember, I forgot to put the camera into the bag after recharging the battery. Finally, because I do not want to lose this to be a beautiful sunset I borrowed my friend’s Nikon D90 camera to take some pictures, and this photo is one of the results. My personal camera that I normally use is the Nikon D300s. This photo lens Tokina 11-16 mm F / 2.8, tripod, GND 0.9 SE with a focal length of 11mm, F/30 seconds.

Inspiration

Whenever taking a photo, I only rely on sense of art that is within me, look at an interesting angle as much as possible and shoot from a different angle from the other people who 've been taking photos at the same location.

Editing

As is known, landscape photography usually takes the process to get a perfect result, and for develop this photo in raw form, I spent 2 minutes.

In my camera bag

Every trip I went to, I never leave behind my Nikon D300s camera, wide angle lens Tokina 11-16 mm F/2.8, in addition I carry a kit lens Nikon 18-105 mm and that should not be missed is the tripod, filter and shutter release. Filters that I normally use is CPL , ND 1000, GND 0.9 SE.

Feedback

Landscape photography the weather factor is decisive, therefore, should be planned ahead carefully when to take photographs, watch the tide if you want go to shore. All fixtures shoot well prepared and carefully, lest anyone miss. Forget the little things that can make photographing to be hampered.
