Behind The Lens

Location

The stack is called Queen rock many years ago there used to be another stack behind it called King rock the cliff on the right is called Breil Newk, I am quite lucky because this is a ten minute drive and fifteen minute walk from where I live it is of course Flamborough Head in East Yorkshie in the UK

Time

I got up at 4:30am setting off to Flamborough and arriving at this location about 5:00am but this image was captured at 5:53am just before sunrise

Lighting

I used the big stopper and a 3 stop hard grad giving me a four minute exposure and corrected white balance in lightroom

Equipment

Canon EOS 5D Mark III, EF17-40mm f/4L USM, tripod, cable release, Lee 0.9 Graduated ND filter and Lee Big stopper.

Inspiration

Thyis is one of my favourite locationbs that I visit quite regularly,l I am quite lucky because its only a ten minute drive from home to the car park at North Landing and a fifteen minute walk to this location

Editing

First it was imported to lightroom to set the camera profile and correct some lense distortion before reducing the highlights a fraction and lifting the shadows once this was completed I exported to Photoshop to set threshold for black and white also to reduce saturation a fraction then I reduced noise with my neat image plugin lastly the image was sharpened using a high pass and that’s it

In my camera bag

Canon EOS 5D Mark III, Canon EOS 7D, EF17-40mm f/4L USM, EF 24-105mm f4 L IS USM Lens, 0.3, 0.6 x2, 0.9 x2 hard graduated Lee filters, 0.6 ND filter, Big Stopper, Little Stopper, Circular polariser, landscape circular polariser, manual white balance card, misc cleaning products

Feedback

I always plan and prepare well checking weather forcasts, cloud maps and tide times before setting off to a location , this location is best shot at high tide, I always arrive early at least an hour before sunrise so I am not rushing about and I can set up then wait for that moment when the light is just right, sometimes it does not happen and other times it is magical like the morning of this shot.
