It's a special place because it's so iconic, you want to get out of there having taken some great photos, but I can tell you that it's not easy. Given that "all photos have already been taken on this beach"; it's not easy to get out of there with an original photo that would come out of what is usually done. So there is a little pressure there.

Then it's clearly not easy to photograph. You have to manage to juggle the waves (have the right timing to capture a beautiful movement in the water), the other photographers (some don't hesitate to stand right in front of the shot you want to take, or in any case, being in the frame), and the difference in brightness between the clear sky and the foreground which is still dark (at sunrise).

(Note to myself for next time: having Softer ND filters and also Soft grads ND filters, rather than Hard ones, would make it easier to juggle with settings)

These different factors make that the pressure is there, and when I came back from that beach, despite having taken far too many photos, I was not even sure of having 1 picture that was going to meet my expectations...

Luckily in the end I was surprised during the photo editing, there are several photos that I like and that I want to share with you!

Mushrooms ! by Fabien Boone

October 2022 - Belgium - Brussels

Again, a macro one, and also 2 pics used for this one as the DoF was too little to have everything in focus. I could maybe have taken a third one for some parts, but it feels alright.

What I see is that shooting those at their level or even below them works best !

I still have 2 pics I like that I want to share, and I whish I could plan another day to find some more !

Nikon d750, 105 mm F/2.8 macro, F/8 both at 5 secs, iso 100.

The Belgian's Heather Season

August 2022 - Belgium

As promised, third composition of that same spot of that great morning.

First time I went out to take the heather in bloom. I'll have to do it more often (it's on the agenda for next year), so nice to go out, with a quiet atmosphere.. It motivates me for the autumn !

Mushrooms # againandagain

October 2022 - Belgium - Brussels

That shot was taken during my second attempt. Again a focus stack (4 shots) 1 for the Bokeh and 3 other shots, one for the mushrooms on the left and 2 for the "big one". Clearly I struggled in Photoshop since it was my first "complex" focus stack but I learned from my mistakes.. After all, I'm glad of the result !

Here are some key takeaways I note for myself from what I observed ;

- getting at" Mushroom level" is key, even below is better to see the stripes

- backgound is really important ; for this one there was a soft light in the background and no disturbeing elements ; that's why the background is clean.

- Sometimes you have to work without tripod becouse your head is literraly already on the ground, no place for a tripod (not the case of for thise one, it was on a trunck)

- the smaller mushroum the better

- for a nice bokeh ; try a wide aperture => I even did some focus stack with a F8 shot to sharpen the subject and keep the soft background of the wide aperture.

Nikon d750, 105 mm F/2.8 macro, F/8 at 0.8 secs, iso 100.

Light plays everywhere! by Sourav Dasgupta

After a sunrise photo shoot, I had gone for coffee at a nearby coffee in Sydney Olympic Park, and this was happening in the background. When there’s light, fog and colorful trees., magic can happen anywhere. I had my camera with me so shot this handheld. This is autumn in Sydney Olympic Park, Australia.

The Mont-Saint-Michel

July 2021 - France

A single place, multitudes of possible shots!

It's a point on which I try to work a lot, I had a bad habit of sticking to one place in order to have THE photo with the best possible conditions... result; I had 100 photos that looked alike when it is clearly more interesting to move around and to vary the compositions and come back with several interesting photos!

Here Mont Saint-Michel at sunrise, after being almost surprised by the rising tide, we could observe the place from another pooint, and with luck I could find these small cracks.

Another note for me: I could have taken 3 photos with 3 different focus points to have the photo entirely sharp (= "focus stack") to have the foreground as well as the background in focus, I was not not yet used to this technique, that's why I chose to close the aperture of my lens to have a completely correct result!
