Behind The Lens

Location

Sicily

Time

It was taken at dusk/early evening

Lighting

The lave flow was not so evident during daylight hours. At dusk it glowed and became more dominant.

Equipment

Canon EOS 1DS Mk 3, Manfratto Tripod, natural light, long exposure

Inspiration

The beauty of nature in the raw sense. This event is not common we were lucky to witness as it only lasted 2 days of activity !!

Editing

Almost straight out of the camera, PS ADJUSTMENT ONLY.

In my camera bag

2 camera bodies, 5d Mk 3, various lenses, cable release, spare batteries, spare cards, lens cloth, rain cover, torch.

Feedback

Research, listen to broadcasts of weather, activity of earth, locations, observations, technique, knowing your equipment ( for working in low light/darkness.) Idea's, Knowledge, the seeing eye !!
