Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken on a field in Croatia. I went with my family to pick up potatoes and I brought my camera with me. The person on the photo is my grandpa.

Time

I woke up early that day because I went with my family to pick up potatoes. I brought my camera with me as I usually do and while I was waiting for my dad and my grandpa to do this job so we could pick up potatoes, I saw this perfect opportunity to take this shot.

Lighting

Lightning was natural. It was a bit cloudy, but not much.

Equipment

I took this photo only with my camera Panasonic Lumix DMC MZ40.

Inspiration

I was standing there waiting for my grandpa and my dad to do this job so we could pick up potatoes and it seemed like a great opportunity to take this photo because this method of doing this will probably soon be totaly replaced with some machine. It was also a great opportunity to take a photo of my grandpa who has cultivated land for all his life.

Editing

Yes, I did. I post-processed it in Photoshop. I fixed the lightning a bit and enhanced colors.

In my camera bag

In my bag I normally have my camera Panasonic Lumix DMC MZ40 and a small cloth for cleaning my lens.

Feedback

Only advice is to think fast and look for the right moment.
