Location
The photo was taken off the Dutch coast, near The Hague.Time
It was a beautiful evening in early autumn.Lighting
Obviously, the sun is the only light source.Equipment
We fixed a Gopro to a spinnaker pole extension. The camera was in automatic mode and kept taking photos until the battery was drained.Inspiration
I thought it was nice to see the action from a different angle.Editing
The hard sunlight required some minor change in exposure, namely the shadows.In my camera bag
Normally I carry very different gear. For this shoot, it was a most basic kit; a Gopro with a holder.Feedback
Keep it safe, fix the camera such that it's not in the way. Have fun!
