Location
The photo was taken in one of the most beautiful locations in Douro River Valley in Portugal. It calls Miradouro Olhos do Tua. Tua is the name of the winding river which runs 200 meters beneath this platform, makes a turn in 180 degrees, and falls to the Douro River after 4 km.Time
Our goal was to get to this place right before the sunset because it is the most gorgeous time for pictures taking in this place.Lighting
Everybody likes sunset pictures but you get here not only stunning warm light but also awesome landscape. The pics turn out very atmospheric in this way with such kind of backlight and the big empty area behind.Equipment
I used just my camera Nikon d750 and wide zoom lens Tamron 17-35/4Inspiration
We moved to Portugal 4 years ago and I so excited that I can explore this beautiful country through my lens. I made a ToVisit list in my Google Maps and collect all places around the country which I plan to visit. This place is on my list. And it is checked.Editing
Of course, I did the post-processing in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. Also, I used VSCO preset to turn it to black and white.In my camera bag
Nikon d750, 50mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4, 17-35mm f/4, 135mm f/3.5, tripode.Feedback
Make a checklist of places you want to visit. Rent an apartment deep in the country for several days not far from the places from the checklist. Make a plan for every day you will stay there. And may Forth be with you.
