Phare du Petit Minou, département Finistère, Brittany, FranceTime
The picture was taken in the morning, a time when I normally don't take photos. I had nothing else to do and wanted to take a look at the place before I could possibly photograph the sunset thereLighting
The stormy conditions and the dark clouds created the perfect conditions for a dramatic photoEquipment
Canon EOS 5d Mark IV, Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, 24mm, ISO 40, f/11, 15 sec, ND- and GND-filters, tripodInspiration
Lighthouses are spectacular photo opportunities. They are often in very exposed places, tossed by the primal force of the seas ... The French départemant finistère is a dream for lighthouse photographers - it has some everywhere and they are exposed to the storms of the AtlanticEditing
In fact, it didn't take much post-processing. A little contrast adjustment added to the drama of the picture, a little emphasis on the details, that's allIn my camera bag
First and foremost, I photograph landscapes. I have two lenses in my backpack for this genre: the Canon EF 16-35mm f / 4L IS USM and the Canon EF 24-105mm f / 4L IS USM. Various ND and GND filters as well as a tripod are of course always included. If the way to the photo spot is not too long or too difficult, I also like to take the Tamron 70-300mm 1: 4-5.6 SP Di VC USM with me for detailed shots. Occasionally I do astrophotography with the Tamron SP 15-30mm f / 2.8 Di VC USD, but this thing is so heavy that it is only taken for that special occasion. My second big passion is wildlife photography. Here I have the Tamron SP 150-600mm F / 5-6.3 Di VC USD G2 (also very heavy and therefore not always in the rucksack) for the larger and more abrasive specimens and the Tamron SP 90mm 1: 2.8 Di Macro 1:1 VC USD for the tiny ones I use all those lenses with my Canon EOS 5D Mark IV My newest toy is a drone: the dji Mavic 2 pro for unusual perspectives, abstractions and a view over the fogFeedback
Travel to the Finistère for spectacular lighthouse pictures!
