Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the coast in the North of Holland, it's called; "the Waddenzee" It's a part of the sea in between the Isles and the mainland which falls dry during low tide. A unique and protected nature reserve.

Time

It was about 1pm.

Lighting

It was a beautiful sunny day in early spring, not a cloud in the sky.

Equipment

I have a Lumix DMC-TZ60, all my photos are taken with this little miracle of a camera...The best thing about this camera is that it has a good Leica lens and it is very easy to carry with you because it practically fits in your back pocket.

Inspiration

I was intrigued by the endless double rows of poles placed in the sand, dividing a large area in squares. They were placed a long time ago to create new land. Holland is a small country below sea level, a country protected by dikes to keep the water out. We created a lot of land throughout the ages with these simple methods. In between these two rows of poles twigs are bound together, sand deposites against these obstacles and slowly the level in between these rows of poles rizes until it's high enough to be planted to hold hold the sand together. Once the area is high enough, another dike is built surrounding it and new land is created... This process is no longer practiced and these are the last remains of a great part of our unique history!

Editing

I post-processed this photo in Lightroom to create more depth and contrast to make the water and the poles stand out more. I also added some light and shadow to create more depth.

In my camera bag

I don't have any equipment in my bag (yet) I am a beginning photographer and I am learning to use a camera, to look for the good light, composition and point of view. One day when I know how to use and set the camera well enough, I will start to think about a bag filled with technical things instead of the need to understand photography first...

Feedback

Water allways creates nice reflections and lively motion and I thought the contrast of the static rows of poles in the sea created a wonderful depth to the image. I placed the horizon on one third from the top to put the focus on the sea. The poles are put in the middle of the photo and they stick out above the horizon to create a nice compostion. The low point of view is very important when you are taking a photo of small objects on the ground, don't be afraid to get your knees wet. If you take this photo from a higher point of view, the poles will fade into the background of the sea... If you take a wider shot, you can crop it later into the fine composition you want once you get home. Make several compositions and choose the best one the following day when you can have a fresh look at them!
