Location
I took this on the Normandy coast, in the fishing village of Grandcamp, where we have spent our vacation for yeardTime
Mid afternoon on a cloudy-bright dayLighting
Nothing particularly good about the light - flat, dullEquipment
I used my Nikon D5200 with a 10-24 mm wide-angle lens set at 10mm.Inspiration
I have been trying to get interesting photos of this old pier for years, in all kinds of weather, time of day, angles and perspectives. This was just one of many (too many?)Editing
Since the light was dull and the colors flat, I processed it in B&W with NIK software.In my camera bag
The NIKON D5200 with the 16-80 mm lens (my workhorse), a long lens (70-300 mm) and a wide angle (10-24 mm)Feedback
Walk around your subject (at low tide, you would have to swim around at high tide) and look for an angle that you like. Be patient. This is Northern France, and the weather changes often and quickly.
