Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Hiroshima - Japan.

Time

Photo taken during the afternoon.

Lighting

Light was perfect, a clear sunshining day. The slight inclination of the light at that period of the day allowed me to focus the main part of the building.

Equipment

I used my older Olympus camera model VG-160, no flash, tripod or special lens.

Inspiration

Hiroshima wasn't in our travel plan. However, during a lunch with some Japanese friends of mine, I was suggested to go there too. So, I replanned the trip, went to the train station to catch the "shinkansen" - the bullet train - and went to Hiroshima. What a wonderful suggestion I had, this is a memorable place and I could watch in loco the miracle of Nature: a modern city plenty of gardens and flower and people welcoming me everywhere. The A-Bomb Dome is the main place to visit, besides the museum.

Editing

The original photo was in color and I converted it in a B&W image, improved the contrast and resized.

In my camera bag

As a complete but passionate photo amateur, nowadays I rarely take photos with my older digital camera Olympus VG-160, more often with my previous camera Canon Powershot SX730 HS, taking with me extra batteries, a Star 63 166-3D tripod and a small "Gorilla" one. Very recently, I’m using my newest camera Canon EOS200d with a Canon 55-250mm lens and a brand new Tamron lens 18-400mm.

Feedback

Who am I to give advices to others? I'm a laywoman. What I can say is that if you like photography, try to take photos of everything which call your attention or you like. Whenever possible, take into consideration the light, perspective and composition. Photography starts in your mind through your eyes and your images can tell a lot of things to others, help others, inform others. And, if you really like photography and you have no ideas, then… photograph what you have.
