Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Peru in La Huacachina, next to Ica.

Time

It was about 5.00 pm -before sunset.

Lighting

As you can imagine light in desert is really not a concern, the photo was taken at the end of the afternoon, which is perfect because the sun is not too bright. The shadows gave a sense of perspective.

Equipment

Olympus FE 200 which I used -as it sadly died in the desert :-( but I normally use Canon EOS 500D

Inspiration

The soft light, the calm environment, the peace you feel when you are up there surrounded by nothing but silence and immensity.

Editing

Nope.

In my camera bag

a bottled water and good shoes!

Feedback

Take the time to look around you. Don't rush. Try to capture not only what you see but also how it makes you feel -if that makes sense. Taking pictures for me is not about the technique -which is an ongoing process for me but about emotions and feeling. You can have the most amazing landscape in front of you but if you're not appreciating the moment you will miss something when taking the picture.
