Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Ika (Peru). We (my wife and I) booked a tour around Peru and had one day there.

Time

It was taken on 07.10.2019 at 15:45 (checked EXIF).

Lighting

I couldn't take extra light (flashes and so on) with me, as we also had a trakking tour booked where it's not that good to have much extra weight...:)

Equipment

Camer: Sony Alpha 7ii Lens: Sony FE 24-70 F4 ZA OSS No tripod, no flash Nothing special used here:-)

Inspiration

I liked the great landscape (the desert) so much. As far as the eye can see is only sand. That was not quite enough for me so I wanted to have something else. So I put myself a little below a dune, my wife on the dune and paid attention to the leading line of the dune.

Editing

Not much to do in the post process. Just a little raw processing. Not even Photoshop used here.

In my camera bag

If possible I have my Nikon Z6ii, the 24-70mm F2.8, the 70-200mm F2.8, a tripod and many batteries and SD cards in my bag. When I know there will be a waterfall or any other need for a long exposure, I take my ND filter set as well. Of course some things to clean my equipment.

Feedback

Watch out for leading lines and let them lead to something beautyful.:-)
