The photo was taken in Malin Head Irelands most northernly point.Time
This image was shot at around 7pm just as the sun was setting.Lighting
Me and my brother took a drive to Malin head to try and capture the sunset however we were not optimistic as it was overcast and rainy for the few hours leading up to it. Then around 6:30 the clouds began to clear and the sun made an appearance as it set over the atlantic. I spotted my brother admiring the view and managed to snap him whilst he looked off in to the distance.Equipment
Camera: NIKON D750 Aperture: f/10 ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/320 Focal Length: 180/10Inspiration
We had amazing sunsets all week and everyone was telling me to take a drive to Malin head which is about 1 hrs drive from home. I love sunsets and so we headed off that evening. I love landscapes but I also love candid images and I managed to capture both here.Editing
I shoot in RAW always. In Lightroom this allowed me to change the WB to shade to get more warmth in the sunset. I then used photoshop for some dodge and burning.In my camera bag
On this occasion it was one camera (Nikon d750) and one lens (16-35 f4). However normally I would carry a 24-70 2.8, tokina 100mm 2.8 (macro lens but super for portraits) and a flash gun. I have many other lenses and two other bodies for weddings and commercial work but I dont carry this all the time. I always keep my trusty tripod with me too.Feedback
If you have an idea for a picture in your minds eye... dont let go of it even if conditions aren't right as they can change at any time. I set out for a sunset landscape shot and ended up with a lovely candid image of my brother. Keep your equipment handy as conditions can quickly change. Even if you dont achieve the picture you set out to get you never know what you may capture.
