Portugal is suffering a major drought at the moment. So I decided to visit the biggest dam in Europe, and the water level is so low.. The picture was taken after the sunset, using a kit lens (canon 18-55mm) and a Canon 700d. It is a long exposure with 64s of exposure, ISO 100, at f-18 and 21mm.

Behind The Lens

Location

Took this photo at Alqueva Dam, in Alentejo, Portugal

Time

It was during sunset.

Lighting

I've seen those beautiful colours in the sky and I decided to capture it!

Equipment

I use my Canon 700D with the 18-55 Kit lens, with a manfrotto compact tripod and some filters in the lens.

Inspiration

Just the colours in the sky. The photo is practically like it went out of the camera, no colour edition.

Editing

Almost nothing! Just a little bit of noise reduction and sharpening

In my camera bag

I have a Canon 6D with a 50mm f/1.8 and a 700D with kit lens.

Feedback

Come to the amazing Alentejo, Portugal and wait for some of this magical sunsets during winter. ( I've never seen any other like this one, I must admit)
