What a wonderful composition, The lichen, sky , sky water colour really works and just a touch of ND flattening the water has left the forms to dominate. Exceptional photograph, well done, Patrick :)

Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at Whisky Bay, Wilson's Prom. The southern most point of Victoria, Australia. Wilson's Prom is one of the most beautiful national parks in Australia. In the winter, the mountains get swallowed by sea mist and low fog, the trees and bush land go exceptionally green and the images you can take are exquisite. I'm planning on shooting more landscape work there next year.Time
It was roughly between 5pm and 6pm. It was during sun set. The sun hadn't quite dropped the below the horizon, but when it did, the sky's colour was even more vivid and striking. It was a great evening.Lighting
It was all natural light. The bay wraps around towards the right and continues on. The sun was setting over to the top right of the image. Most of the foreground is actually in shadow, and so shooting a long exposure helped lighten it up. I was shooting long exposure anyway because I wanted to get the motion of the water, and so I sort of got two for the price of one.Equipment
I used my trusty old Canon 600D DSLR. I used a Sigma 17-50mm lens with an ND filter and an ND graduated filter. It just goes to show that you don't have to have the best gear to take the best photos, you just need to know what you're doing. I highly recommend not using anymore than three filters. The light has to pass through your filters, then through the glass of the lens. The more things you have in front of the light, the worse it gets, and your image drops in quality. So if there's one thing you should spend your money on, it's good quality filters.Inspiration
I took this photo as part of an assessment for Uni. We were to scout a location and take some test shots. Based off this research we we then to go back to the same location and shoot a series of final images. The only thing I forgot to account for in my research was–of course– the tide. So when I arrived my original location was underwater. So I was pushed back up the beach into this little nook and enabled my to take this picture. I'm glad I did, because it's one of my best image I've ever take. I'm very proud of it.Editing
This is one photo, shot Raw. I've increased the clarity in the rocks and clouds slightly, and increased the vibrance of the colours a little. I haven't done a real lot to this image. It's a little more contrasty that what it was in person, but what you're looking at is pretty much what it looked like to my eyes.In my camera bag
In my bag I normally carry my Canon 600D, with a grip of course, 18-55mm kit lens, a 50mm prime and a 70-300mm lens which I use for mu architecture work. I have a filter holder back that carries my three ND filters (different stops and grads), a polariser and a sunset grad. I also have some filter adapter rings in there for good measure. Various accessories and cables along with many SD cards.Feedback
Landscape photography is hard, and so before you even think about what gear you're going to be using, you really need to make sure you know what you're doing. Watch countless videos on Lynda.com and YouTube, read lots of photography blogs and practise in your back yard. You don't need the best equipment, hell, I'm shooting with a crop-sensor camera that can be bought for $450 now. The one essential you need for landscapes are filters, more specifically ND and Polariser filters. Remember, your gear does not matter. It's all about your skill set and knowledge base. Now get out there and learn.
