Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in an iconic place in the Italian Dolomites, it was a re-shot, as this is a hard to shoot place and the first attempt wasn't satisfying for me I had to return and repeat the shot.Time
I work full time as an IT specialist, at the end of my working day, with all the stuff packed and ready, I went to this fantastic place, it took me an hour of driving to get there, when I arrived the sun was already behind the mountain, it was at the dusk, but because it's on the shadowed side of the mountain the light is very even.Lighting
I wanted to achieve a dynamic picture, where you can see not only the tunnels but also the cars driving through, what better technique than a long exposure?!Equipment
I took this shot with my Nikon D7000 and a kit lens 18-55mm with a Haida 3 stop ND filter, all that on top of a Manfrotto MT190XPRO tripod.Inspiration
When I first saw a picture of this place I almost instantly imagined it with the movement, so I was always thinking of getting there and photographing like I was imagining it in my head. The first attempt was pretty good but it had a strange angle of view, due to the position of the camera, very hard to shoot this place, the second attempt gave me a very satisfying result.Editing
It's a multiple exposure, for a total of 170 seconds, the shots were combined and stitched in Photoshop, color toning and sharpening was also applied in Photoshop.In my camera bag
In my bag you'll find my Nikon D7000, a Nikon 50mm f1.8, Nikon a 35mm f1.8, a Tamron 24-70mm f2.8 and the last but not the least my 18-55mm kit lens, which is a fantastic lens, I adore it for it's compact size and it's also super sharp, perfect for landscape photography.Feedback
When having in mind to shoot the mountains or similar places there are many aspects to consider, from scouting the place, knowing the weather and the light to preparing yourself, getting all the necessary stuff and the equipment. Landscape photography pretty much like all photography is a matter of trial and error, but the more you shoot the more experienced you get, less errors will be made and your shots will get better and better.
