Behind The Lens

Location

We went to Hel Peninsula in the afternoon, enjoying beautiful weather and a couple of hours to kill. I decided to go back just before the sunset. Here's what I caught.... Light was very beautiful and even, so I haven't used any filters.

Time

Evening, sunset.

Lighting

Light was very beautiful and even, so I haven't used any filters. Barely a hint of wind and very clear air gave me this rare opportunity to take a few very nice shots. It felt natural to turn one of them into B&W.... I extended a little exposure to smooth out the water

Equipment

NIKON D7000, tripod, mirror up, remote release.

Inspiration

It was simply a beautiful seascape, with the boat moored at the wooden pier. It caught my imagination and I knew exactly how I wanted to shot it when I returned before the sunset.

Editing

Just a minor adjustment of highlights and shadows to emphasize structure of wood, delicate histogram polishing and B&W conversion. I never shot in B&W, always convert in post production.

In my camera bag

NIKON D750 camera; NIKKOR lenses: 14-24 f/2.8, 24-70 f/2.8, 70-200 f/4; set of Lee filters; MARUMI polarizer; spare batteries for the camera and the flash gun; charger for batteries; BENRO tripod; cleaning kit for glass; pocket knife; tarpaulin cover for the camera; phone with useful apps; bottle of water; memories and curiosity of a discoverer...

Feedback

Take photos for yourself, enjoy constant development and your passion will take you in the right direction. Great photos will arrive sooner or later but the camera will show you that moment without a doubt.
