Behind The Lens

Location

This castle is called Burg Eltz, and is located close to Cochem, Germany. It is one of the most popular castles in Germany.

Time

I took this shot early in the morning, so that I do not have tourists in my frame.

Lighting

Golden hour is my favourite time, because the light is soft and the sky is more colorful.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D750 and the Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8.

Inspiration

Castles are always a fascinating subject for me, so I always wanted to visit this castle and take some photos.

Editing

Post processing was done in Lightroom and Photoshop.

In my camera bag

I always have my D750, my Tamron 15-30 as well as a Nikon 80-200. I always carry also my square filters (ND and Grad).

Feedback

My advice would be to go as early or late as possible, in order to avoid the big crowds.
