Behind The Lens

Location

It was very early and a rainy morning on my journey through Scotland.

Time

It must have been around 7 a.m.

Lighting

I'm a litte bit sadden that the light was not the best because of the rain. But at the other side the scene has a very dull ambience and i love that.

Equipment

Nikon D810 and the Nikkor 14-24 mm, 2.8. A big fat stone in the water was the tripod ;-)

Inspiration

I drove on this abandoned narrow street and out of the corner of my eye i discovered this little bridge in the middle of nowhere. I stopped with a full breaking, grabbed my cam, jumped out of the car and climbed over the little wall down to the water, while my car parked in the middle of the road.

Editing

I only darkended the sky a little bit. Nothing else.

In my camera bag

It depends on where i am. But the basic are my two Nikon D810, the Nikkor 14-24 mm, 2.8, the Nikkor Macro 105 mm, 2.8 and the Nikkor 70-200 mm, 2.8. My Manfrotto fibre glas tripod, ND Filters, Pol Filter and a Remote Release. And last but not least some rain covers and cleaning stuff. Obviously i attract really bad weather anytime and anywhere.

Feedback

I never make plans and i take pictures at every daytime in every situation, even in the worst weather condition. If i would presume, i think it's very simple: Always keep your eyes open, have your equipment prepared and the batteries charged.
