Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Sandbridge, which is part of Virginia Beach, VA.

Time

This is one of my favorite times to shoot. I like to shoot a lot during the night. Long Exposure particular. I was originally out to shoot the sunset and stayed about an hour later and found this to be a very elegant to shoot at night.

Lighting

Lighting was an issue, since it was late at night when I took this photo. So, most of the light in the was from the pier lights it self.

Equipment

I used the Nikon D810 with the Nikkor 24-300 lens. My tripod was Manfrotto.

Inspiration

I'm always inspired by nature and architecture combined together.

Editing

All my post processing takes place with Adobe products. I have a very interesting workflow. I utilize Adobe Bridge to scan through my images for my selections. Once all my selections are complete I do my initial edits in Camera RAW. After completing all my initial edits I bring my images into Adobe Photoshop for the final post-processing.

In my camera bag

All my equipment in my bag is Nikon. I carry three lens normally, but lately I really have been using my Nikon 24-70mm 2.8 lens for everything.

Feedback

My advice is always be prepared when you go on a shoot. I always have my tri-pod in the trunk of my car and the camera is usually there as well, when I leave the house. You never know when there maybe a photo opportunity.
