Location
I took this photo at Struisbaai Harbour. It's a little town in the Western Cape Province in South AfricaTime
This was taken around 10 in the morningLighting
It was a cloudy day with only spots of sunEquipment
I took this photo with a Nikon D850 and a Tokina Pro 16-28mm 2.8 lens. I took the picture from a low point of view using the live view screen tilted up.Inspiration
It was raining a lot the previews night and the boats were out of the water due to stormy winds. I was hoping to catch a reflection shot in one of water puddles and was lucky to get a big one that day.Editing
I used Aurora HDR 2019 as I love it's HDR structure editing to make the subject jump out.In my camera bag
My Nikon D850, with all my lenses (you never know what you might find). Sometimes I'll leave my flash and tripod at homeFeedback
A camera with a tiltable screen help a lot to really get low without getting wet. The massive Dynamic range with the Nikon D850 helps a lot as well (minimal editing and filters required). The wide angle lend helps a lot as well to enable you to get close to the subject and still frame it properly.
