WHAT CAMERA, LENS AND SETTINGS DID YOU USE TO CAPTURE THIS STUNNING SHOT?

I used a Canon EOS 60D and 18-135mm lens. I used exposure blending, so had different settings for the sky and water (foreground). For the sky I used 1.6sec, f18, ISO 100 and for the foreground 25sec, f18, ISO 100.

HOW DID YOU DECIDE ON THE COMPOSITION?

When I first saw this place, I was overwhelmed because there were so many beautiful subjects to capture and beautiful compositions to select. ‘Less is more’ is a fair statement because I spent hours thinking about which composition would be perfect. There was a high tide that day so I climbed onto this small rock and I was amazed by the view from there.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT THE IMAGE?

What I like most about this image is the colours in the sky and water. I think the purple in the sky and bluish colour on the water is a beautiful combination. Also the foreground rock and its texture is a nice element.

DID YOU DO MUCH POST-PROCESSING?

Different exposures for the sky and foreground were combined. I like mixing different exposures and different times into a single image, because the perfect light in the sky and the foreground may not happen in one particular moment.
