I took this picture during a little trip we made to one of the Açores islands, Sao Miguel.
The water there is super transparent, and the rocks of the

A small stream going to the sea. I loved those ripples created by the water. Just a shame I was not the only one at the beach.

This tiny grasshopper didn't want to be in the photograph, I had to chase it around that flower for some time till I get the shot. It seemed like

A minimalistc photo from a lonely beach moments before the rain started to pour.

A friend invited me to go out with other people to take some stars photos. I met great people and we learned from each other. It was a fun night.

These two trees and the mist created such a ethereal scene. It looked like a portal to another dimension

I saved this mom from the pool, but she lost almost all of the little spiders that she got above her body

I decided to call this picture pear-fect, because this drop has the perfect shape of a pear.

Behind The Lens

Location

It's one of the highest points around where I live. The views from there are great, with the river going to the sea ( right where I'm standing you can see it), other mountains, the forests and a lot of towns.

Time

This location is a 360º vantage point, good for sunrises and for sunsets. This time I decided to go on a fantastic sunset.

Lighting

I love to take photos against the sun, colors look more vivid and contrasty, although it will produce more flares.

Equipment

I use my Nikon D750 and my 16-35 f/4 lens, mounted in my tripod. Simple but effective.

Inspiration

I'm not a big fan of me being photographed, but I was searching for a profile picture for my social media profiles, and this scene came to my mind.

Editing

Just basic edition in Lightroom, increasing shadows, lowering highlights, a bit of contrast, a white balance adjustment.... nothing really important.

In my camera bag

Apart from the D750 and the 24-70mm lens, I usually have with me a 20mm f1.8 lens and a 16-35mm f4 from Nikkor , and a little collection of filters (10 stops and 6 stops ND filters, 4 stops medium GND and 3 stops soft GND). I always have with me a little torch as I usually end shooting really close to the night and also a power bank for my phone, not a good thing to have a dying battery when you are out and alone.

Feedback

I use the built-in camera intervalometer to take the photo, I set it to take a photo every 2 or 3 seconds ( I don't remember ) and I went to that rock, where I focused. After hearing the click of the camera, I knew I got it.
