Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo to the Christmas period. There are still the Ferris wheel on the place Masséna in Nice City. I had already lived Nice 25 years ago, but I was not back for a long time. the place changed a lot with its mirrors and water misters. Since I came to live in this beautiful city

Time

It was late afternoon when the Sun begins to go down by giving this wonderful golden color that gives the impression that one is always in the summer.I expected that the water jets start to operate before the water mirror appear and brings me more the reflections of buildings typically Niçois

Lighting

In this photo the light is very important first to give softness to the picture and that you don't get when the Sun is too early in the day. Then for the rendition caressing water and allows good contratser reflections.

Equipment

I use a tripod for stability . Camera Canoo EOS 5 D Mark II , aperture f/8 ISO 100 Shutter speed 1/250 Focal lenght 61/5

Inspiration

I wanted to find a characteristic place in my city. This place has changed a lot, a few years ago it was just a parking lot. Now it is a living space where life is good. The children are having fun, there are green spaces, and the city is a city of Sun, the light is always amazing.

Editing

I do a bit of post processing on lightroom to give more character to the image. Strengthen the clouds and give contrast. A bit more vibration also to enhance the colors.

In my camera bag

Most of time I take only my camera, 2 batteries and a light bag . A heavy bag is always a problem if you have to walk a lot .I take also my compact flash in spare.I only carried a tripod if necessary.,and another camera lens if I think I need it .I also have a wide angle , but I do not use it for the scenery, I think that too flattened image except of course in some cases.I still also have a notebook and a pen to take notes .I usually let my battery charger in the hotel , my extra batteries enough for the day. The goal , always limit the weight because of my back problem , if I walk too long with too heavy material it spoils my pleasure to photo.Il the need to feel free and comfortable to make good pictures. I still also have a small compact in spare in case of failure .

Feedback

Wait for the right moment, of subjects and especially a play of light that will bring out the detail you want to present.
