Location
This photo was taken at "La Recoleta" cemetery - Buenos Aires, Argentina.Time
By the end of the day on the 29th January 2014.Lighting
It was summer time in the south hemisphere then, so the light was still good enough to illuminate all those beautiful sculptures. This street of the cemetery was very clear, anyway I chose an angle where light struck more.Equipment
In this case, I used my older digital camera Olympus VG160,X990,D745 without using a tripod or flash.Inspiration
I was inspired by the tranquility of the cemetery together with the beauty of the sculptures. The art even in death.Editing
I improving the contrast and resized the image.In my camera bag
As an amateur, I always take with me my new mobile Sony E5603, a Canon compact camera Powershot SX710 HS, my older camera Olympus VG-160, some extra batteries and, sometimes a small tripod.Feedback
