Morning or afternoon. What’s the best time to photograph the landscape? Well it’s all up to what you want the picture to be and when does the light paint the best picture. These two images are of Toowoon Bay NSW Central Coast, the first was photographed just after the sun had set behind the headland, creating this cool looking image, the second was photographed just as the sun broke the horizon line over the ocean creating a warm image, two day’s after the first. In this case both images work quite well, so it’s just down to the viewer and the feeling each image gives you. Both images were captured on A Nikon D700 mounted to a tripod a 24-70mm was used for the evening shot and a 20mm for the morning image. The preset light balance on the camera was set to cloudy. Back in the studio the RAW file images were processed in Nikons Capture NX, but I think that’s about to change, more on that later. It’s very important to shoot in RAW, especially if you want the best image quality your equipment can give you.
