Location
This photo was taken in April on the bank of the river Dnieper on which situated my native city Dnepropetrovsk.Time
The photo was taken at sunrise.Lighting
The photo was taken early morning, when risen sun shone a warm golden light, breaking through the trees on the bank and insolated a seagull that was sitting on a tree branch.Equipment
The photo was taken on Nikon d3100 + af-s Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6g vr.Inspiration
When I was walking along the riverbank, I noticed in the water on a tree branch a seagull. It sat quietly and basked in the golden rays of the risen sun. And there was nobody around. It is precisely this atmosphere of morning silence, peace and serenity inspired me to create a photo.Editing
All post-processing was to transfer the colour image to black and white. It was necessary to remove the colour accent and eventually picture became calmer, more graphical, laconic and dramatic.In my camera bag
I use the following equipment: a tripod, camera Nikon d3100, and several objective lenses: Sigma af 10-20 mm f4-5.6 ex dc hsm, af-s Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6g vr, af-s Nikkor 35mm f/1.8, Helios-81H 50mm f/2.Feedback
Seeing scene that you want to take a photo, you need to understand exactly what you like, what awakens your feelings, highlight the most important thing and remove all unnecessary and simplify photo.
