Location
Photo was made while walking around Skopje (North Macedonia), on the right Vardar river bank, and in the city centre.Time
Date/Time Original is 26-Jan-11 14:42:47Lighting
Here is what Exif remembers of the occasion: 1/250 sec, f/4.9, ISO 100, 0.00 eV, Metering Mode: Pattern Flash: Auto (Did not fire), Focal Length: 18.6 mm, White Balance: Daylight. meaning, bright and sunny day making the camera happy. :)Equipment
Canon PowerShot D10, pretty little tough camera that fits in a pocket and is always at hand.Inspiration
I'm not very much after sculpture photoography, but this one has an interesting concept which got my attention. Add the fact that the water level was a tad too low... and this aspect was also funny enough to automatically generate the photo title.Editing
It is hard to remember, but I think nothing of significance was needed, bar some slight cropping to isolate the interesting parts.In my camera bag
To me it is easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small photo clamp instead of a tripod. Sometimes I'll include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest has large-lens pockets that holds a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. With these, much can be "mcgyvered" along the way, so that's all I need. Recently I make it even more comfortable for me, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch. Simplicity and comfort; two best ingredients in most situations!Feedback
Three things: eyes wide open and ready for ANY theme, an open mind, a cheerful state of mind, and a camera - any camera - near to hand! If you forget or miss any of the three, you may be sorry, because in accordance to Murphy's Laws, all the good opportunities will happen at that moment.
