Location
This photo was taken at Ossario beach in the island of Asinara, a small island north of Sardinia, in Italy.Time
The island of Asinara is a nature reserve reachable only by boat, it is an uninhabited practice so it is not uncommon to find small beaches and small corners where you find yourself alone. it was around 14:00 when I practically threw myself into the water because of the heat and I saw all thisLighting
the lighting situation was terrible with a few clouds, very harsh shadows and strong light, luckily for photographing the water in transparency (and here the water is really transparent) the thing is not entirely negative. I used only natural light, shooting a few inches from the water that was very calm at that time and cutting almost all the sky that offered nothing interestingEquipment
I used only my previous camera, a nikon d7100, the wide angle I had with that camera an economic but valid sigma 10-20 and the polarizing filter that allowed me to emphasize even more the transparency of the water.Inspiration
if a photographer, a lover of nature, sees such a situation can not avoid photographing it.Editing
This photo has very little post production, I only improved the colors because unfortunately because of the time when I took the picture was too yellow, with completely unrealistic colors.In my camera bag
When I photograph nature and landscapes with the sony a7II that I currently use I always have with me the zeiss 16-35 F4, which allows you to mount circular filters, such as Nd and polarizer, I almost always have a tripod that is very useful in many situations, for the rest little else. believe that the use of fast lenses in the landscapes is practically useless and often requires very expensive filter systems.Feedback
The only advice I can give is to stop where there are no people, always keep your eyes open and always carry with you the camera because sometimes the most unusual situations arise from nothing suddenly.
