Location
I found this beautiful art object walking through the gardens of Château de Longpra near Saint-Geoire-en-Valdaine in Isére, France.Time
I took the photo on August 3rd, 2013 at about half past three in the afternoon on a very hot and sunny day.Lighting
Not really, mid-day in the summer is not the best time for making pictures outdoor. I guess that's a well known fact. Don't be afraid for back light. Use flash eventually. Just try...Equipment
I own just a simple but, in my opinion, good and handy Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ6 digital camera. Nothing fancy, it just works. If enough llight though... I took the photo handheld, I think sitting on my knees...Inspiration
I just had to take this picture, as a professional musician my attention was directly focused on this beautiful steel object.Editing
I don't remember really, I might have adjusted the contrast a bit.In my camera bag
Just my camera and a tripot (just in case...)Feedback
Just take as much pictures from different angles as you can. Pick out the best later. Try strange and unusual angles and compositions!
