Behind The Lens

Location
This photo was taken at the wreck of the Peter Iredale, Which Ran aground off the Long Beach Peninsula, in Oregon, 20 minutes out from Astoria.
Time
This was taken at the tail end of my Photo Safari in Astoria. I wanted a nice ship wreck to play with, and when i got to the site, it was around 10 Am. The lighting was perfect for the many textures There.
Lighting
the day was very interesting. the clouds were awesome for a backdrop, yet the sun snuck in on the side, enough to cast shadows, and help create this beautiful steam off the beach. it was hard to get the right Stop filter to expose all the textures happening. normally people take this shot at the golden times, but i was looking for something different this day. I think i found it.
Equipment
I used my trusted pair of Nikkon D5500, and my AF-S Nikkor 14 - 24mm 1:2.8G ED Ultra Wide Lens, The Sensei Pro Filter adapter specifically designed for the ultra wide lens, The Lee 150 MM Big Stopper (10 stops) and a .9 ND Lee Medium Gradual filter, All set on my fathers old D55 Manfrotto Professional Tripod, using a corded shutter remote.
Inspiration
I love images of things past by. that being said, I also love images that look like they could be a painting. This encompassed both desires. I have seen so many versions of the Peter Iredale, i wanted to express it in a different way, and when i got to the site, the weather, the clouds, everything was in perfect timing to what i was looking for. The background reminds me of an oil painting, the textures of the sky contributing to the message of the image... the gradients of Metallic rust, to the organic green of the moss... I just love the entirety of the image.
Editing
yes i did. I actually had several images that i did in Long exposures, that i put into a smart object as a stack, using the Mean of all of them to pull everything out. some clean up of Ghosts of the people surrounding, as well as some other things i felt took away from the image. Then playing with the light to pull the ship onto the stage i intended it to stand upon, like a theater show prop.
In my camera bag
I have a huge Lowepro bag, that seems to not fit everything I carry. it always feels like I'm a soldier hiking with full gear on. With that pack, I always bring my Nikkor 55-300mm, my Nikkor 200-500mm, and my "go to" lens Nikkor 14-24 Ultra wide lens, (How I love that lens!) Add the Lee Little, Big, and Super Stoppers, the medium ND Grad filters, the 4-5 back up batteries, Lens cleaners and cloths, extra Memory cards, I'm usually good to go for anything.
Feedback
The thing about most image Authors, is that we cannot be all world Travelers... well not as much as we would LOVE to be. That being said, some shots we take can be common... find the uncommon within it. Make it yours. show the world what you see thorough your eyes, and you will find something new. also, learn to play with long exposures. play with the filters. I cannot live without my filters, they bring my magic to life. take as many shots as you can, time can not be an issue. Use the post process work, it really is important.
