Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in A Coruña, Galicia, Spain. Torre de Hércules is the oldest roman lighthouse in the world and its location is also very beautiful, in the city of A Coruña.

Time

I love shooting at sunsets, this day the clouds and colors were pretty nice but at some point they get spectacular and I was there to capture it.

Lighting

The whole sky was beautiful but I zoomed it because I want to capture the tower and also those cloud lines that I love so much.

Equipment

This wqas shot on my Canon 77D. As it is a long exposure photo I used a tripod to capture it

Inspiration

This place inspires me. The road ends in the ocean and with this beautiful view of the lighthouse. I visited this location many times before although this one is probably my favourite.

Editing

I shot raw so I always post process the pics in Lightroom to adjust light and colors. This pic didn't need to much tough. It was a little dark so I increase exposure and contrast and some color retouch.

In my camera bag

I always carry with me my Canon 77D and two or three lenses. My favourite is the Tokina 11-16mm as I am a landscape photographer. I also use my 18-135 Canon lens when I want some zoom. I also have a 50mm 1.4 Canon lens. I also use the tripod many times and my ND filters as I love long exposure photography.

Feedback

Be patience. I love loking at the sky at sunset and decide if shoot outside or not. Sometimes the sky when I arrive at the place is not that great and the sunset is not that good. But other times you experience this beautiful and colorful sunset sky that I love. Enjoy what you have at that moment and try to do something cool with it.
