Location

This picture was taken on my trip to Gdansk, Poland. I love travelling as much as taking pictures so I always bring my camera on trips to be able to capture my impressions there. If there is anything that is new to me, looks like a good composition (even if it's only matching colors) or something that triggers my interest i shoot it.

Time

took this picture on a bridge while me and my girlfriend were on our way to a Store to buy CBD. We were missing the tram so we decided to walk a few meters and catch the tram on one of the next stations. It was a beautiful clear sky and the sun was about to set so I got this really nice light while we were crossing the bridge... I took dozens of photos there.

Lighting

For this shot I only used the available light from the setting sun, it gave my surroundings a nice golden touch and created a good contrast to the deep blue sky.

Equipment

I shot this picture with my travelcam, a small and handy secondhand Olympus OMD EM10 with the 14-42mm kit lens. No other equipment was involved.

Inspiration

The story behind this picture might be a little disappointing. This picture was an opportunity I took there was nothing planned just these big puddles on the bridge, a nice lighting and my girlfriend that crossed my picture and gave it a little dynamic. I just experimented with the reflections and got lucky with this shot.

Editing

The picture was already good as it came out of the camera, I only did some small interventions like mirroring the picture so it is upside down, and darken the upper part of the picture so it looks like a night sky.

In my camera bag

If I am not on travels where it requires a lightweight equipment I bring the Canon EOS 70D of my father I am still young and a decent camera body is not yet affordable for me, but it will be my next big investment. With the 70D I usually use my Tamron 24-70 f2.8 probably not the best but a huge step from the Canon 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 Kit lens that I used before. I still use it on travels, since it covers a big range, but whenever it's possible I use the Tamron. The newcomer in my collection is the Canon 50mm f1.4 I only have it for a few weeks now but since it was on the camera I didn't want to exchange it anymore. Sometimes I also bring a tripod, but I prefer to be flexible.

Feedback

As a streetphotographer you just need to have an open eye and be attentive to your surroundings. There is always anything worth to capture around, just try to show it from a new perspective.
