Location
MontereyTime
Morning shoot during low tide, waiting for fog to break.Lighting
Cloud cover provided diffused natural light. Balanced with two strobes in softboxes.Equipment
Canon 5D Mark IV, 24-70 2.8L, 24mm, 1/320 sec, f/6.3, ISO 125.Inspiration
Scouted this location a year before. Noticed the weather, tide, sun and water would have to be timed to get this shot.Editing
Curated in Lightroom and adjusted for exposure and overall color. Retouched in Photoshop. Slight vignette added with NIK Collection.In my camera bag
I currently carry a Canon R5, but used a 5D IV for this shot. Lenses change frequently, but I plan ahead to minimize the load. Better glass and fewer for travel is ideal for me. Lighting and modifiers are another matter depending on the shoot and travel.Feedback
Study the environment. Study the subject. Create a plan and then act spontaneously. When weather and terrain are factors, be safe and do advance research.
