Location
I took this photo on the way going to Portofino, in the Regional Natural Park, Liguria, Italy.Time
It was about 6 a.m. and I was waiting for the sunrise.Lighting
The idea was to catch the twilight. Unfortunately there were some clouds covering the sun, so the shot taken is the result of some changes I decided to bring to the initial set up I though. I use a polarized filter together with a 0.6 Soft Neutral Density Grads.Equipment
For this shot i used Haida Polarizing Filter for my Nikon 14.0-24.0 mm f/2.8, 0.6 Soft Neutral Density Grads, my camera and my tripod.Inspiration
I wanted to create a picture about the typical elements of the Ligurian coast, sky, earth and sea.Editing
Yes, I worked on opening the shadows and cropped the picture to get the right balance.In my camera bag
My current gear is the following: Nikon D610 accompanied by Nikon AF-S 24-70mm f / 2.8 G ED -Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f / 2.8 G ED - Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8 G ED VR II and Sigma 18-250mm f / 3.5-6.3 DC OS HSM I have two filter holders to hold the Lee big stopper 0.6 Neutral Density Hard Grad 0.6 Neutral Density Soft Grad Haida Polarizing Filter 150mm x 150mm Hoya Pro1 digital circular polarizing filter. My tripod is a Benro C2970F - carbon with a mounted head Manfrotto MH054M0-Q5 Head Serie A 054.Feedback
Before the shot, I usually do an inspection when possible on the sites where I decide to take the photo, to study the lay-out and light.
