Behind The Lens

Location

Llandudno, North Wales, UK

Time

Shortly before sunset so the the light was constantly dropping

Lighting

The light was contantly dropping so I had to compensate with an extended exposure time

Equipment

Nikon D810, Nikon 24-120 f/4, NiSi Filters

Inspiration

It had been a good while since I shot this location so I decided to have a night in Llandudno before heading into Snowdonia and try to get some different images as well as scouting out a few new locations, this one was shot in the evening not long before a sunset that really didn't materialise.. The old Victorian structure for me is one of the best piers in the UK with the great dome design at the end. The dropping light allowed for a 6 minute exposure, effectively isolating the pier in the scene.

Editing

Slight crop, BW conversion, dust spot removal, local contrast adjusments

In my camera bag

2 camera bodies, Nikon D750 / Nikon D810, Nikon 14-24, Nikon 24-120, Nikon 70-200

Feedback

Push the histpogram as far to the right as you can to get all the details in darker areas, never ever underexpose then turn exposure up later.
