Location
The photo was taken in a shopping complex.Time
It was towards the late afternoon around 4.30 pm and decided to take my sons for an ice cream.Lighting
The lighting was natural low light conditions and effective in capturing the type of image that I wanted to experience.Equipment
I have a very simple Sony Cyber-Shot Camera 20.4 megapixel camera. Not tripod or flash was used.Inspiration
I like the hue of different colors of the ice cream franchise store and the park bench. Thought it would be an interesting picture and add on to the theme of the look and feel.Editing
I did some photo shopping to create an embossed 3D look. What captured my attention was the "dripping paint" effect on the window and changed the lighting to draw a focal point of the shop interior.In my camera bag
I don't normally carry any additional camera equipment. I am intending to expand one day with extras as my passions enhances.Feedback
I believe in fueling your passion. Take ordinary pictures that appear seemingly bland and then use your creative skills in cropping for correct composition and then experiment with the use of photo apps by modifying your picture and see what works best. Allow your imagination to run. Taking pictures is one aspect but photo shopping to create an unusual effect is another.
