Location
I took this photo in Ericeira, Portugal on a stormy winters day.Time
It was 6 pm , new years day.Lighting
I waited for the moment that the sun was peeking from between the clouds to get that special light on the waves.Equipment
I didn't use any equipment other then my wonderful little Lumix DMC-TZ100.Inspiration
The coast in Ericeira is wonderful to photograph, specially on a stormy day! I liked the heavy clouds in combination with the open blue spots of sky where the sun was peeking through. I waited for the right light and wave splashes I wanted to capture...Editing
I did the post processing in Lightroom. I tried to add some drama to the scene by darkening the cloud and adding a bit of extra highlights on the waves.In my camera bag
I don't have any equipment in my bag (yet) I am a beginning photographer and I am learning to use a camera, to look for the good light, composition and point of view. One day when I know how to use and set the camera well enough, I will start to think about a bag filled with technical things instead of the need to understand...Feedback
Water allways creates nice reflections and lively motion and I thought the contrast of the static pier in the sea created a wonderful depth to the image. I placed the horizon about one third from the bottom to create a nice wide composition with the heavy contrasting clouds. The low point of view is very important when you are taking a photo like this one, don't be afraid to get your knees wet. If you look at a subject to photograph, you have to try to realise what you want to achieve, Try to find the good light, the right point of view and the best composition... And most of all, take more shots with slightly different settings so you can choose the best one, once you got home and opened your laptop, the magic of today's world begins... I allways crop it later into the size and composition I like best. Crop the photo in different ways, so you can choose the best one the next day when you can have a fresh look at them!day when you can have a fresh look at them!
