Location
Pekapeka Wetlands ,Hawkes Bay ,Aotearoa New ZealandTime
around 10pmLighting
Wetlands are near a main highway so you get glow from local city Hastings and car lightsEquipment
Nikon D3300 Tripod Samyang 14mm wide angle lens,Deckchair and thermos :)Inspiration
This wetland was drained last century to make way for roads and farmland.the local ecosystem was devastated however finally local people have set about to restore the wetland to its former glory so now Birdlife and water life ie Eels etc are returningEditing
I use Lightroom to increase exposure and reduce noise..im not that good at it yet feels like the more i learn the less i know hahaIn my camera bag
CameraD3300, Intervalometer, Tripod, 3 x lenses in my kit 18-105mm 14mm and a 35mm i always carry spare batteries lolzFeedback
white balance is important set to tungsten...calculate your exposure time and have lens wide open...when u first take shots you will think theres nothing there but once you develop your photo the heavenly glory will show...i find astro a time for reflection and reconnecting with this beautiful planet ..kiaora
