Behind The Lens

Location

Opal Coast in France at the village Wissant

Time

Date(Original): 2016:08:14 Time: 10:51:18

Lighting

It was a varying sunny and cloudy day. If it is sunny, there is too much dust in the air and the images are not clear but rather foggy.

Equipment

Camera: Canon EOS 6D - Full frame Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm 1:4 IS USM Tripod: Vangard Alta Pro 263AT ND filter HOYA Variable density

Inspiration

I had already seen beautiful pictures of the opal coast and wanted also take some pictures over there. You will find more bunkers from World War II and wooden piles on the beaches. On a clear day you can see over the canal the white cliffs of Dover.

Editing

I just made an adjustment of the white balance, increased the contrast and made the green color more intense.

In my camera bag

Camera: Canon EOS 6D - Full frame Lens: Canon EF 24-105mm 1:4 IS USM Lens: Canon EF 70-200mm 2.8 IS USM Tripod: Vangard Alta Pro 263AT ND filter HOYA Variable density Polarizing filter B&W Self timer Flash Yongnuo 600 Flash Canon 430 Camera batteries and flashes. Battery chargers. Memory cards. Smartphone with apps for sunrise and sunset, calculate power density filter, tides ..........

Feedback

For this image, I had a shutter speed of 15 seconds by the use of a neutral density filter. Make sure your tripod stands firmly so that there is no movement. I suggest the focus manually. ISO: 100 F: 11 With a little practice anyone can create such images. For the use of neutral density filters, there is sufficient information to be found on the internet. Good luck.
