Behind The Lens

Location

On the promenade by Hastings Pier.

Time

This phot was taken at just gone 8am after sunrise.

Lighting

It was a gorgeous morning that provided a wonderful opportunity to take some cracking shots. I managed to get a few good shots on this morning.

Equipment

A Nikon Z6ii, a 24mm - 200mm Nikkor lens, a tripod, and ND64 filter and a polarising filter.

Inspiration

I love sunrise images as it heralds the beautiful arrival of a new day with new opportunities. I have recently been enjoying visiting Hastings and really wanted to catch a good shot of the pier.

Editing

Yes, I cloned out some of the footprints on the beach and brightened this area with a graduated filter. I also slightly increased the temperature on the beach and in the sky.

In my camera bag

Camera, polarising filter, ND filters, 24mm - 70mm lens, 24mm - 200mm lens, cleaning accessories, spare batteries and Memory cards, a tripod and a thermos of tea/coffee.

Feedback

Scout the composition before the sunrise so the shot is ready before it needs to be taken. I have sometimes been rushed as I didn’t scout properly before a shot.
