Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Kenya during a visit to a fishing town. It was only during a few hours, in the national park of Malindi.

Time

About 1200am before lunch, they was showing us how to make a fishing basket near the river. i remember because the man was taking about the fish and i was really hungry.

Lighting

it was the worst light of the day during that hot and sunny visit but at the same time was a unque moment in all my life.

Equipment

i used my aquatic camera, Canon Powershot D10. it was during a long time my polivalent camera. Im too happy using this camera, because it works in a lot of diferents scenes. I like to do snorkeling and this photo was made after a shot under the water in the riverbank.

Inspiration

Despite the light that made me think about the shot, the look of the children, one boy and one girl, transported me inside his lives and i placed the camera in my waist and shoot twoo times, once focusing to them and other focusing to the trees. Was a unique moment in my life. That was the reason that i shooted, there no be another moment like that.

Editing

Normally i use ACDSee but at this time a didnt know how i could really used and i only did the automatic correction. Normally for all my post-processing i put down the amount of light.

In my camera bag

Now i used three cameras. My first digital camera HP PHOTOSAMRT R507 with 4.1 mp, ZOOM 21X and pentax lens. Im too happy with this camera, i used for macro photos due to has the best macro of my equipment. The Canon Powershot d10 camera, 12.1 mp the most polialent of my cameras, because i can used under water or out of water, durign a suuny day or grey day and during the night. i like toomuch the shots during the night, the colors and the sensitve are very good. The Canon powershot SX50HS a bridge camera with and excellent lenns 50x zoom 4.3-215.0 mm 1:3.4-6.5 USM only one year old with me, im triyng to discover all the capabilities and shooting to everything that i can!!!. I like the power of this camera, it is very sensitive anda has a lot of diferents modes. Only has 12.1 mp but im starting to be happy using it. the worst is the high amount of light that has all shots and i correct this, with another data like colour, etc, the post processing in the ACDSee program.

Feedback

yes, only think about the oportunity of another shoot like that moment in your life, if you cannot repeat, please shot shot shot and to be sure shoot with diferents views.
