Same photographer See all Behind The Lens

A more vertical shot of the same ship as the B&W image, I liked the reflection in this one.

Last of the shots from my first trial shoot with my new camera

One of the Koalas at Edinburgh zoo - Koalas sleep for 22 hours a day, so catching one moving requires a lot of patience. Fortunately this one woke up

So this is from little while ago but I've just got round to doing the final editing. I wanted to catch the magnificent weather doors and the bri

First macro using new and hopefully better technique

B&W version of the HDR merged restaurant shot

This was taken from the back of a Cessna 172 on a flight from Sleap to the South Coast. Rules of the air - everything gives way to balloons!

This has to be one of the most photographed castles in the world - so here's my quick stab at it. Cold and overcast day

A little fun shot dueing a family gathering

A more traditional two masted ship in the harbour at Barcelona. The old fashioned type was crying out for a b&W treatment

The mix of colours here was spectacular and I don't think I've really done it justice - and this is the side away from the sunlight!

The last shot for now from Sagrada Familia, the imposing front ediface!basilica

The tender shoots of new growth on one of our roses look fantastic in the spring sunshine

My daughter completing her degree gave a good opportunity for some photos in the plaza outside the Birmingham Symphony Hall

Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was taken from the roof of a boat in the Maldives archipelago. The height above the sea made for a less than stable platform but fortunately the light levels allowed for a fairly short exposure to compensate.

Time

I'd like to be able to say I put effort into getting up early but this is a sunset shot. A weather front was moving through the area, triggering the clouds over the islands.

Lighting

As the sun started to drop behind them, the cloud towers and layers combined to give beautiful contrasting areas of light bright colours and dark grays, all reflected in the relatively calm see. Not the classic image of a tropical sunset but astoundingly beautiful.

Equipment

This shot was taken hand-held on my Canon 600D. Wide angle lens at 18mm, 1/40 sec. f/5.6. No other kit needed

Inspiration

We'd been in the area for several days already and I had taken several sunset shots from the beach. The opportunity to get out on a sunset boat trip was too good a chance to miss.

Editing

This was shot originally in RAW format, then run through lightroom. Tweaked the white balance a little and some minor adjustment to the hues and that was it. I rarely do a huge amount of post processing other than that and some cropping. That's not a principled stance, more a testament to my current lack of practice on the software.

In my camera bag

My camera first - Canon EOS 600D. I have a Tamron 100-300mm lens as I love to shoot close ups and animals. I have a "nifty-fifty" F2.8 50mm prime lens which is fun for portraits. A 10-18mm wide angle lens for landscapes and the kit 18-55mm kit lens fills in the gaps. I always have a small tripod - my favourite is a right angle design that can be spiked into the ground, placed on the ground or strapped to a post or branch. Usually a speedlight flash unit and some batteries just in case. Optional extras - ND filters if going after landscapes, pop-up multi-reflector (black white, silver and gold) for portraits.

Feedback

You don't need clear skies to have great sunsets; some of the most interesting skies have clouds. Shoot lots, see what works.
