Behind The Lens
Location
I took this image at Mudeford, Dorset in the UK. The beach huts are situated at the end of Christchurch Harbour.Time
This was taken late in the evening just as the sun was setting. I had taken a few images and preferred the softer and more subdued light whilst the sun was behind the cloud.Lighting
The softer light also brought out more warmth and colour of both the beach huts as well as the sky. This also allowed more detail to be preserved in the shadow areas.Equipment
Nikon D300s with a Sigma 10-20 DC lens on tripod.Inspiration
I've always liked the perspective of super wide-angle and creating a vanishing point within the image. I had taken several other pleasing compositions on my trip that evening, but this particular row of beach huts with the uncluttered views in my opinion was the most pleasing.Editing
I ended up blending images together. It was the only way I could maintain details in the foreground and sky. It also allowed me to pull some detail back, in particular in the beach hut windows.In my camera bag
I am still using a Nikon D300s (What a camera!) and a D3200 as a carry along. Usually have 4 lenses covering super wide-angle through to 300mm as well as some really old flash and macro gear. I always carry a sturdy Manfrotto tripod.Feedback
Always experiment, look for the unusual angles or points of view. In the digital age of photography it's so easy to check and take so many photos whilst on location. Sometimes its the images that you least expect that can be the most pleasing! Also make a habit of bracketing and shoot in RAW format, the latitude in the files enables more scope when it comes to post-processing the image.
