Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture in Erbil when we were hiking Safin mountain with my friends, this photo is close to my heart because it makes me feel free.Time
I remember the day we went out in the afternoon heading to the mountain, and I remember laughing in the car during the trip, there was a friend with us from Spain and she had a wonderful voice That day was January 25, at 4:51 pmLighting
before sunset, the color of sunlight was so beautiful, I decided to light the paper that I held in my hand so that a feeling of hope could reach.Equipment
This was shot on a Nikon D7100, with an 10-24mm f3/5 lens.Inspiration
I was in a difficult situation in those days and I was trying to overcome this situation, I took the picture to express that, the presence of mountains, sun, autumn and snow, all of this was indicative of how I feel, when I posted the picture on my Instagram account I wrote, "This picture I feel it says To me that I must restore my pure soul, this image is close to my heart."Editing
I shot in RAW format so I can fine-tune the skies and mountains. I chose blue and orange because they are consistent colors in the color circleIn my camera bag
I love to take pictures with a wide lens, so the first thing I put in my bag is a 10-24 mm f3/5 some cinematic shots are bound with a 50 mm f1.8 using Nikon D7100 with its 18-140 mm prime lens In some shots, I put myself in the pictures as a human factor so I have a small device that connects the camera to my mobileFeedback
The most important thing is the time when the sunlight is soft, beautiful, and bright in color And then choose an appropriate angle to make the lighting on the side of the hand to give a new dimension to the image You should choose an attractive background because it is the basis of the image, put something in your hand that expresses the place around you Do not put your hand too close to the lens. Keep it a little further away as this gives more strength to the image
