Behind The Lens
Location
I lived for a couple of months on the beautiful island of Lombok, Indonesia. I've been cruising on my rented scooter everyday/evening scouting for the perfect locations and exploring tiny, dirty roads, that often led to nothing spectacular.. but sometimes, i did manage to find the spots like this one.Time
Just before the sun went behind the horizon completely.Lighting
Golden hour - everything you'll ever need if you're not into the studio shots like myself. )Equipment
Some old Nikon at the time. No tripod, handheld.Inspiration
The setting is amazing at the little spot. Palmtrees field is next to the beach and those giant trees are creating beautiful silhouettes that easily fill the frame, creating and interesting pattern.Editing
Yes. I just use Photoshop, crank up the colors and saturation up and then gradually take it down to the sweet spot.In my camera bag
At the moment i just use smartphones, projectors and some weird shaped lenses. Planing to explore Fuji next.Feedback
If you find the spot you like and have the time, don't be lazy to go to that spot as many times as necessary, until everything's perfect, including the, often, unpredictable cloud shapes/sunset.
