Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken on the Baltray beach, Co. Louth, Ireland.

Time

At the dusk of a cloudy day.

Lighting

I hoped that at dusk sky would have redden and the ship had been only a piece of the landscape. Since there was no fire in the sky I decided to make the ship the master piece of the picture. I went closer to the ship

Equipment

I have a Nikon D750 equiped with a Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens. Because of the low ligthing condition a tripod is necessary

Inspiration

I heard about this shipwreck when I was preparing my trip to Ireland. The colors, the place immediatly catch my eyes

Editing

I used a mask to get boat's color more saturated and higlight it

In my camera bag

I have a Nikon D750 with wide angle lense (14-24mm) and a more common lense (24-70). I have a set of graduate filters and a big stopper. In case of dusk or nigth shot i pack up a tripod.

Feedback

Keep a eye on tide hour if you don't want to get wet
