Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken on the East Coast of Canada, in the province of New Brunswick where I live. This is in the south west of the province and the ocean you see is part of the Bay of Fundy. The Bay of Fundy is world famous for its high tides. The exact location is at a car/passenger ferry landing. This is within 5 or 6 km of my home.Time
Often, probably 70% of the time, my photo excursions take place late afternoon or early evening. I really enjoy capturing the long shadows and great lighting of that time of day. Early morning of course as well, but not being a great morning person, I do prefer the later part of the day for using my camera. I took this photo as the car/passenger ferry arrived in port. I was fortunate for this one, because when the Bay of Fundy fog approached land it coincided with the setting sun.Lighting
The lighting was amazing and inspired me to visualize a good result. We are often treated to great sunrises and sunsets, and many local photographers thereby inspired.Equipment
Cmera: Canon EOS 6D Mark II, no other equipment for this shot.Inspiration
It was one of those times that I was inspired to visit the area, and see what opportunities there were for me and my camera. One never knows what will be available to capture around the coast; nature has a way of surprising, entertaining and satisfying the yearnings of photographers. In this instance, I was not disappointed.Editing
I use Photoshop and for this image adjusted the clarity, haze, brightness, contrast, and shadows. I used the spot healing tool to remove a gull from the centre of the sky.In my camera bag
Canon 6D Mark II, Canon 24-105mm lens mounted, in the bag: Canon 50mm prime lens, Canon 100mm Macro lens, ND filters. Tamron 150-600mm zoom lens. A tripod is always in my car.Feedback
Even though this photo was a grab shot, one has to be always planning what to do next with their photography. Carefully study your own area for chances to capture what nature has to offer; also look beyond where you live, and within your resources be prepared to travel for those moments that will inspire you. I have found having an atlas of my province to be extremely helpful in planning where to go next with my gear. Having said that, I am elderly, (old that is), and do not often take long voyages, but day trips around the province have awarded me many opportunities to have fun with my camera. Do not overlook being inspired by fellow photographers. Take advantage of what makes where you are unique.
