Stone walls are sanctuaries for different beings, like lizards, snakes, insects, etc. - among other life, it only takes some wind-blown dust layer, humidity, and seed to develop and accomodate some tiny plants!

Location

About a 100 meters from the Hhouse there is this stone wall, an old one, with ;ots of cracks between the stones. And each Spring starts there, waking up first these small flowers, weed, and other less glorious botanic beings - before the roses even wake up!

Time

27th February 2024 at 11:08:24 was the moment...

Lighting

You're welcome to all of it: Shutter Speed, 1/640 sec, aperture f/4.5, ISO 100, 0 eV, Metering Mode: Spot, Flash did not fire, Focal Length was 72 mm, and White Balance was set at Auto

Equipment

Sony DSC-RX100M7 was used, hand-held, with nothing else attached to it but me. :)

Inspiration

I am quite attracted to small, resilient sorts of living beings, so this was quite normal for me to photograph.

Editing

Some cropping was all that was applied.

In my camera bag

For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. It is more than enough to take along whatever I want or need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually stay home or in the car, to keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The tripod has its permanent place in the car. My vest pockets usually contain two cameras. Regardless of which is the "main" camera, one of those is always some waterproof model, if the weather plays up or when I find something interesting in the shallows. Nowadays I usually use Nikon P900 or Sony RX100m7, and the waterproof backup is an Olympus TG-2 or a Paralenz DiveCam. Other vest pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to almost anything. In many cases this can replace a tripod. The vest has deep pockets for longer lenses, and these usually hold a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate - if I plan on being out for the whole day. I always pack about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. Much can be improvised with these if need be. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; one variable-volume McKinley. In the Outdoors, simplicity and comfort are my most important requirements!

Feedback

1) Have a camera; 2) Look around; 3) See nice things (all things); 4) Take or make photos... (where making is better) :)))
