Behind The Lens

Location

Bognor Regis isn't often thought of as a fishing no village, but right in the heart of the seaside you can find boats like this pulled up on the shore just waiting to be photographed.

Time

I shot this at around 10.00 am

Lighting

The sun. Good lighting.

Equipment

I might try to lie here and tell you I took this with my Nikon D300s, but in fact I took it with my iPhone 6s, which never fails to astonish me.

Inspiration

I shot a similar boat a couple of years ago with my aforementioned Nikon D300s and a 16mm fisheye. This year i challenged myself to take one picture a day, and I wanted to replicate that image, so went to Bognor to find a boat...and there it is.

Editing

I worked the image in Snapseed, tonal contrast, vignetting and a little general tuning.

In my camera bag

I've recently move from Nikon to a Fuji X pro 2, and I'm loving it! 27mm pancake, 56mm f1.2 and a 55-200 zoom give me almost all the range I need, though I'd like a wider lens too. Soon...soon.

Feedback

When you see something and think 'that's great; I'll come back and photograph that someday'... mostly you're deluding yourself. Much better to have a camera with you all the time...and now cameras on phones are so good you have no excuse anymore. None. Just saying.
