Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at European Village, Palm Coast, Florida. It was raining, it was a hurricane season, and that was a heavy storm, rain for hours and then was calm. I do professional photography, mostly weddings, family and kids, but my passion is Art Photography, is beauty in everything I see, and getting to translate that beauty into an image is something that I wouldn't change for anything...

Time

We have our studio in this place, Located 2 miles from the ocean is a must for many tourists scaping from the northern winter, this place is a reflection of the European architecture. I was around 3:pm the sky started to clear from the darker clouds, and I decide to walk around with my camera and tripod, I did few shots, but this one is the special, not only because the angle but the technique I used, I choose to make an HDR, I mixed three different exposures and use Lightroom for post-processing and photoshop to merge the images into this one.

Lighting

I was around 3:pm the sky started to clear from the darker clouds, and I decide to walk around with my camera and tripod, I did few shots, but this one is the special, not only because the angle but the technique I used, I choose to make an HDR, I mixed three different exposures and use Lightroom for post-processing and photoshop to merge the images into this one.

Equipment

Natural light, with Nikon D700, AF-S Nikkor 16-80mm 2.8-4E DX-VR Sense, on a Tripod

Inspiration

Somehow I'm attracted to below angle images, images from below, close to the floor, and those bricks and refection make a realy beautiful contrast with the architecture and the sky

Editing

I choose to make an HDR, I took three different exposures, 2f stop p a normal exposure and 2f stop down, the post-processing was in lightroom, work in one of each image, the highlight, contrast and shadows, and photoshop to merge the images into this one.

In my camera bag

Nikon D700, AF-S Nikkor 16-80mm 2.8-4E DX-VR Sense, Tripod, NB filters, and Pluto shutter

Feedback

Practice makes perfect, the image always call you, be always ready waiting for the unespected, when it pops in front of you ake it, the mayority of time this is the best shot. practice, practice, practice. There is always room to learn a new technique...
