Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken, in Portugal, countryside. Since I was a kid, we used to go on holidays to this magical place where usually happens the most beautiful sunsets.

Time

We were hiking, me and my wife and suddenly came across this old olive tree with the sun down. Some eagle flew by ate this magical moment.

Lighting

with the sun down, the silhouettes are crazy sharp and make the photo looks super nice.

Equipment

This was shot with a Nikon D810 with a zoom lens, AF Nikkor 80-200 1:2.8. I didn't any tripod because the light was enough.

Inspiration

I was trying to use a solitary tree with the light on its back in order to take profit of the sharp silhouette and ultra black color.

Editing

the only thing I did was the exposure and contrast. I normally use the camera Raw to adjust levels.

In my camera bag

I have a backpack with a 50mm, a 24-85mm, a 105 Macro lens, a 80-200mm and a 200-500mm. A tripod and a SB900 flash head.

Feedback

Enjoy every moment of the day. the light is always different and there some treasures hidden in the Shadows and flares. Portugal is a great country to explore and I invite you to visit it, any time of the year.
