Location
This photo was taken in Deva, Romania. The location is significant because my father was a political prisoner here during the cold war, while the country was under communist control.Time
This picture was taken during an early evening rain storm.Lighting
The ray of light is from a fixture illuminating a Roman statue behind my father.Equipment
A Canon 60D on a tripod.Inspiration
The ray of light caught my eye and the setting had an extreme amount of emotional value for my father and our entire family.Editing
I did very little on this one. Just adjusted color and contrast.In my camera bag
I usually carry my camera, walk around lens, a flash and some extra batteries. I've found I can focus more on the subject and enjoy the process if I take out minimal equipement.Feedback
The moment really has to come together. To find the right ray of light and perfect opportunity depends on being mindful of your surroundings and appreciating the way light interacts with the environment.
