We're on the road when I saw the big windmills and I thought that it would be good to capture one of the greatest story of ilocos norte.
Bangui Wind Farm is a wind farm in Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines.
The wind farm uses 20 units of 70-metre (230 ft) high Vestas V82 1.65 MW wind turbines, arranged on a single row stretching along a nine-kilometer shoreline off Bangui Bay, facing the West Philippine Sea.
I used a canon 1300D with a canon 50mm F1.8 STM and a Natural light.

Behind The Lens

Location

We're on the road when I saw the big windmills and I thought that it would be good to capture one of the greatest story of ilocos norte. Bangui Wind Farm is a wind farm in Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines.

Time

This is probably one of my favorite photo, we're on the roadtrip back then in ilocos here in philippines maybe around 9am, a little bit cloudy and i thought it would be a good chance to take a good portrait because the cloud is like a big softbox and the wind is kinda good for the dress. This was taken on May 30, 2019 at 9:12 AM.

Lighting

Nothing special because we're on a road trip back then and we're in a hurry, but it was a cloudy day and the clouds are diffusing the sun like a large natural softbox.

Equipment

This was shot on Canon 1300D, with 50mm F1.8 STM lens. No other equipment was involved.

Inspiration

I really wanted to capture a strong portrait image with a good story on it, national geographic portraits inspire me the most. I really wanted to share every story and history in every place in my country, as long as there is one thats believe that i can do such things i wont stop to create such photos.

Editing

I don't usually go far, I just use some black and white contrasting and luminosity mask to balance my foreground and background.

In my camera bag

I have my sony a7iii and tamron Tamron 28-75 2.8 for photoshoot jobs, but when we do road trips like the bangui windmill photo I use my canon 1300D and my 50mm F1.8 STM lens for portability reasons.

Feedback

Well its all about natural shots, I mean you don't have to be well prepared always sometimes good photos are captured naturally without doing lightning set ups or directing a pose.
