Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at my home city, Porto.

Time

Around 7pm. I was walking toward the downtown area, which is the oldest part and also one of the the most beautiful.

Lighting

This photograph was taken in winter, and the light is very diffuse this time of the year which generated along with the light of lamps a pretty picture to remember.

Equipment

I used my Canon 6D with the 85mm USM F1.2 only.

Inspiration

I really love street photography and moments like this make me go out, almost every day with the camera in hand. I often say that because as i am a little distracted and sometimes easily forget, photography is the way I have to immortalize the moments for me that have "magic". This was one of them.

Editing

I only used Nik Collection and Silver Efex Pro 2 to get some of the details lighter.

In my camera bag

Now i'm using Leica M Monochrom with a 50mm F2 Planar Carl Zeiss lens.

Feedback

The city of Porto is beautiful! Its colors, its light, its people and history that have are fantastic and allow to spend hours and hours walking without stop shooting. The street photography is perfect in this city. We constantly observe beautiful compositions and the simultaneous train sensibility of our look. All European cities are in general very beautiful by history they have. Each of us should make the most of this story and eternalize it on the photo. This photo was one of those moments.
