Behind The Lens

Location

During a walk along a stream in a preservation area near the Itatiaia National Park - Serrinha do Alambari - at the country side of the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Time

Was about end of afternoon,

Lighting

The soft sunlight coming from the left side from the stream touching the leafs at top and creating shadows on the water between the stones was perfect to create this image.

Equipment

I was with my "babycam" a mirrorless samsung nx10 with a single 18-55mm lens and a small tripod, essential to make a long exposure shot.

Inspiration

The lighting and the big branch balanced on the stones, plus the foliage at the top from the entire scene. For sure the waterstream was the big inspiration to take a walk searching for a beautiful scene.

Editing

I have two versions from this scene posted here at Viewbug (WaterStone I and II). This picture it was revealed using Adobe Lightroom and after that I just add an "oil paint" effect from Adobe Photoshop to create a more artistical view to the original leafs. So this image is "digital art", not digital photography. I think today it is very important to create a way to differentiate "a real photograph" (with major revealing process allowed) from digital art images, creating a clear borderline with a lot of implications.

In my camera bag

When I go to do nature photography I like to go with a small tripod, 18-55mm, 50mm macro and a 70-300mm lens at most. As a professional photographer always three camera bodies with as much lenses as possible (10-22mm, 24mm, 50mm, 85mm, 70-300mm at least).

Feedback

As described above, I was with a single compact mirrorless camera and a tripod. The most important is being attempt to the light and composition. A polarizer filter is a good add to keep in hands for this kind of picture (not used here), to help when the available light is too hard.
