Behind The Lens
Location
On the east side of Lago Cocibolca, in San Carlos de Río San Juan, NicaraguaTime
It was about 15 Minutes after sunset.Lighting
The light at the lake is always beautiful in the early morning and in the evening. Look and grab the opportunityEquipment
My battle proof D4.. 11 years and still perfect, apart from looks. A manual wide angle from Laowa, pre release modelInspiration
It was Christmas eve and perfect. No better place to be, perfect light , atmosphere and the joyful kids chasing around the plaza behind me. All I had to do is find the perfect boats, since all were at home that night.Editing
Yep I denoised and straightened the horizon and removed some ugly yellow whatsit in one of the boatsIn my camera bag
If I travel, a manual wide angle (14 or 18mm). The 24-70 has been replaced with a wonderful 24-35 which works just fine at night. an old sigma 85/1.4 and some tele. These days it might be the 200-500.Feedback
Avoid tourist spots, travel by bus where the locals go. The best way to find the perfect Christmas holiday spot. Go to a place you already know and find a peaceful spot, observe the times of day. Take your time and leave the phone at he bottom of your bag
