This photo was taken at Weed Beach in Darien, CT.Time
One of my favorite times of day to shoot is blue hour, right after sunset. It is when the sky becomes ao magical and you get these really incredible colors, like it’s on fire!Lighting
I wanted the water to be very still and the clouds to have movement in this shot, so I did a long exposure to accomplish this. The colora in the sky were amazing right after sunset!Equipment
This image was shot with a Sony A7riii camera, Canon 24-70 2.8mm lens, sigma adapter and Siriu tripod.Inspiration
I always look for bodies of water to shoot at around sunset. It relaxes me, like my own therapy session where I get to create art!Editing
I did some light color correcting in lightroom with this imageIn my camera bag
I always have my Sony A7iii in my bag. I usually have my Sigma 16-35mm lens for landscapes, 85mm or 24-70 for portraits.Feedback
Shooting at sunset can be magical, kust make sure to check ahead of time where the sun will set and if it will work for the location you want to use. Sometimes you have to change it depending on the wearher conditions. Patience, practice and trial and error are also key with long exposures.
