Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in my hometown, Aveiro (Portugal).Time
It was a hot summer day, the sun was starting to go down. After a day at the beach I looked at the lighthouse that overlooks the area I just loved the way it contrasted with the light blue sky.Lighting
It's all natural, the sun was starting to set behinf the lighthouse and glooming over it, higlighting the light blue hue of the summer sky.Equipment
This was shot on my Nikon D3300 with my f1.2 35mm lens.Inspiration
I just love the nautical look and my hometown. Aveiro is a city that lives from the sea, so there are plenty of fisherman and boats. I just wanted to capture a bit of that in a still. The lighthouse is perfect for that purpouse, after all, every city coast has one!Editing
Not much was done to this photo. It was processed on Adobe Lightroom. I opened up the highlights and shadows, made it just a bit brighter and toned it a bit warmer.In my camera bag
I don't carry much with me. Usually just my phone, my Nikon D3300 with the 1.2 35mm lens plus the kit lens (18-55mm). If i'm looking for night shots I also carry my cheap plastic tripod.Feedback
The Portuguese coast is filled with amazing spots. For anyone looking for nautical scenes Aveiro and Setúbal are two awesome cities to visit!
