Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in the Shikmona Archeological Park on the Mediterranean coast in Haifa, Israel. I am a professional photographer of a wide range and nature photography are for me exercises on relaxation.Time
In this area, among the ancient hills covered with wild grasses and flowers, I prefer to shoot sea sunsets. If you shoot the sun through the grass and flowers, you get a natural backlight and the sun looks like a big ball hanging above the horizon. This picture was taken after sunset, at the golden hour, which is very short in Israel due to its proximity to the equator.Lighting
no additional lighting was used. only natural diffused light emanating from a cloudy sky, illuminated by the sun, gone beyond the horizon.Equipment
This was shot on iPhone XS smartphone camera. No other equipment was involved.Inspiration
Returning home from shooting, I looked again to look at the darkening light of the passing day and saw the beauty that had opened from the height of the hill. I took a smartphone out of my pocket and took this photo.Editing
Only Adobe Lightroom, nothing more.In my camera bag
Nikon D800E, Tamron 24-70 f/2.8, Sigma AF 50-500mm f/4.5-6.3 APO DG OS HSM, Manfrotto tripod, smartphone iPhone XSFeedback
Try to shoot sunsets through the meadows of grass. Focus on the foreground and let the sun do the remaining work - to highlight the background of yours future masterpieces!
