Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Lisbon close to Tagus River in Belem area. The Tower you see is of course Belem Tower, an iconic monument for Portugal.

Time

Well as you can see this photo was taken at nigth, a very cold one!!! I was alone there, nobody walking around because it late at nigth and my only security was my wife back in car waiting for me...

Lighting

The lighting was the main reason why I stop there that night after some other photos at other places. It was getting quite cloudy and foggy but we coul still stop a full moon. It created this magic photo.

Equipment

Basic equipment, a tripod, my Sony Alpha 300 with 18-70 Sony DT Lens and remote shutter.

Inspiration

Nighphotography is an area of interest to me. If I can mix it with great monuments better. I think monuments at nigth at a diferent "glow", maybe because there are no turists, no people walking aroud or talking, it is just monument itself and me.

Editing

Not much, in raw mode I did basic color correction, and a bit sharppenig.

In my camera bag

For this kind on photo and because I live quite close to this area, I onle taken was I think I will need like Tripod, Camera, Wide Lens and remote shutter

Feedback

Patience and attention. What is most difficult to me is to have time do dedicate to photography, so a couple of times is like watching the night coming what predict if it
