Location

Budleigh Salterton in Devon, UK.

Time

Taken late afternoon on a misty day in March 2014.

Lighting

Difficult! Well, it was for me - to the right of the image is a path that leads up from beach level to the cliff-top, and has a row of streetlamps along it. I tried to include these initially, but the image had too much visual tension and I decided to crop to the cliffs and mist. Light was naturally diffused, which was quite atmospheric - and difficult to process!

Equipment

My Canon 5DIII and stock 24-105 lens, which I love. Hand held - wish I'd taken the tripod!

Inspiration

The atmosphere of the scene, which had a weird quiteness.

Editing

Oh yes! I played with this so many times. Posted it on one of my favourite forums for critique (PhotoSocial), listened to everything people had to say, especially Robert, who is a wizard. Then went back again and again. Cropped, as I mentioned above, to remove distracting elements that I first thought were contributing positively, simplified colour, enhanced the silhouettes - it goes on and on! All done in Lightroom.

In my camera bag

Being of Great Age, as little as possible - on this occasion just camera, 24-105 and 100-400 lenses, filters and cleaning kit. Should have taken the tripod, without doubt.

Feedback

I would have liked to try an ND filter with this shot but wanted the figures to be reasonably sharp and, with light so low, I don't think this would have worked. So, try some bracketed shots to ensure you capture the detail required - and be careful with the highlights, low winter sunshine can cause burn-out!
