The new sun was muted by some thin cloud adding to the ethereal lightEquipment
Sony RX1R2, Breakthrough CPL and 6 stop ND filters, Gitzo tripod, Bushman panoramic head, 4x35mm framesInspiration
With the cormorants sitting so still in the early morning colours I figured I could get away with a nice long exposure (20secs) and capture the velvety water.Editing
Stitched the frames together in photoshop and some basic light adjustments in Lightroom.In my camera bag
Just my trusty Sony RX1R2 , Breakthrough filters, CPL, 6 stop ND, Rocolax 11 stop, remote timer, Bushman panoramic head, Gitzo Tripod, GPS, Emergency locator beacon. A full frame set up that I can easily fit in a small day pack along with some lunch!Feedback
You have to plan for sure, check the weather including wind forecast, allow heaps of time so you are at the chosen location and set up before the best light, make sure batteries are charged and take some time thinking about the framing, I only use a fixed 35mm now so my creative mind works in 35mm segments.
