Behind The Lens
Location
An overall view of Vernazza, one of the villages of the famous Cinque Terre area, in Italy.Time
We arrived in the late afternoon but it took us a little while to find what I considered the right spot. The photo was actually made just before 8 p.m.Lighting
The weather was uncertain, to say the least. The light was flat and the scene only came to life when a few lights started to appear in. the village.Equipment
I used a tripod, my trusted Nikon D850, and a wide-angle zoom (18-35 mm). I didn't have any ND filter so I close my lens as much as possible to get as slow a shutter speed as I could.Inspiration
At the time, I was experimenting a lot with slow shutter speed and I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to use this technique to both flatten the surface of the sea and get some interesting aspect of the moving clouds.Editing
The resulting photo was quite dark and I like it this way. I increased the brightness of the lights in the village as well as the reflection. in the sea using masking. I also added a few lights around.In my camera bag
I usually have my D850 and two zooms (24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8. Then, depending on the purpose of the outing or the trip, I bring along a wider angle lens or some very fast prime lenses. I usually bring a tripod when I plan to capture some landscape photos.Feedback
I do believe that having an idea of what we're looking for, and a vision of the scene helps decide how we capture or make the photograph.
