Location

This Photo was taken in a summer summer house my family owned in Colombia. This region is a beloved getaway place, known for it hot and sunny climate. I’m an amateur photographer and like to bring my camera on the road.

Time

This was around midnight I think.

Lighting

The lights by the pool gave a warm feeling and I had a flashlight to spare XD

Equipment

I used to have a Canon 500D (I think Ti3 for the US) back then. I put it on my tripod, set the focus to the pool stretchers. The a bit of planning for the figures and the pray to God, that my drawing skills could outpace the shutter (between us, for the previous 10 shots they didn’t)

Inspiration

I had seen some Pictures where the photographers used flashlights to flood landscapes in low light conditions to bring their subjects to pop. Y also had done you magic candle tracing. So There I was that day, drinking by the pool with my Father and it came to me.

Editing

I played with the contrast and light levels a bit. The a bit of saturation to help the colors pop.

In my camera bag

Nowadays I have a Canon 6D a tripod, an EF 70-300, and some „toys”

Feedback

Don’t be afraid to try stuff out. The worst that can happen is that you fail and learn something from it.
