Sunrise in Schönhagen, Germany by andiblockiersystem

I had no luck with the sunsets during my vacation. Either it was raining or the sky was dull and grey. Watching the forecast I decided to try me luck in the morning and capture the sunrise. For the very first time actually.

So I set the alarm to 5 am and drove to Schönhagen. It was a great feeling getting out so early and cruising through the land with my favorite music – hoping for magic 😉

Once I arrived at the beach I checked where the sun will rise on the horizon, arranged the beach chairs, cleaned the place a little and set up the camera. 

About a hour later the sun was greeting and enlightened the scene 😉

My vision was to have contrast in the sky and the foreground and a creamy sea to separate the different layers.
Therefore the image is a manual blend of three single images:
• short exposure for the sky
• long exposure for the sea
• mid exposure for the foreground

I’m really happy with the result and so glad I got up that early.

Thank you for your likes and favs and especially for your comments and follows!

Happy shooting,
Andi

Us and Them by ArpanDas

*****The stars are from a different exposure ****

This was taken during the last winter. I found this crocodile like wooden structure really interesting I get down into the water bare footed. When I came out of the water I could not feel my legs because it was winter and the water was from melted ice 😛 Anyway I was quite happy with the shot 🙂 Hope you will like it

Darkland by ArpanDas

This was one of the most beautiful sunset I have ever witnessed in my life and luckily that day there was not enough tourist. My job was to capture the moonshine but I reached the place a little bit early as I live nearby and the sunset was really crazy. This shot was taken exactly when the sun was in the horizon and the light was glowing over the city with the rising moon. P.S I have not blended the moon from any other image. I have made a short video how I got this moon. If you want check the youtube link

Land of Cosmos by ArpanDas

Read the description please.

I know first thing people will think about is how it is possible to get the milkyway when there is such a bright moon. Well my expression was exactly similar when I shot this. This was taken at a single time (nothing has been taken separately Even we did not know there is a milky way. When we were shooting another composition with the moon we saw the moon with milky way in raw file (it was hardly visible with naked eyes). After watching this it immediately reminds me the great capture of Michael Shainblum who captured the moon with the milky way. Well still someone may think that I am making a nice story, so here is the link for one of the raw file(I hope it works, if not u can ask me).

Technical details: For this particular shot I used the 16-35 canon lens just because of the monstar. The lens is great for monstar. This is a panorama of 12 images and one exposure for the moon. For the monstar I used aperture 9 and for the rest of the image aperture 2.8. The transition in color was real (no color gradient has been added). There is a city behind the field in the left. So a huge light pollution comes from it. I tried some foreground elements but nothing was interesting except this anti-aircraft gun placed during the world war. I quite like the way it was pointing towards the milkyway. The glow on the gun is from the moon. It was so bright that an artificial light source was not needed to light the foreground.

A great thanks to my friend Attilio Di Giangiacomo who asked me to join him for a night photography and he showed me this great location. Not only that I didn’t have my camera as it has been sent to the service centre. So he also allows me to use his camera for this shot.

Alone IV by suraj1007

Well these structures are made of Sand it’s called Sand Stone, basically over the period of centuries When the sand particles, mixed with cement-like minerals such as quartz and calcite, are compressed under great pressure over long periods of time they stick together to become stone.
Went to desert with few friends where they showed me this I have seen very less in this part of the world, the textures & shapes were amazing… 🙂
