Behind The Lens
Location
The photograph was taken on one of the lanes in Central Sofia Cemetry, Bulgaria.Time
08-09 a.m.Lighting
It was magic morning with real magic light...Equipment
I used my camera CANON 1000 D only.Inspiration
The whole morning was magical. It looked like the cemetery was radiant, it seemed that the light of the sunbeams and the air around left the feeling of a holiday rather than of sorrow. It was All Souls’ Day, and in Bulgaria it is a day for commemorating the souls of the dead, a religious memorial service for the dead (the All Souls’ Days in the church calendar are usually four – always on a Saturday). People were coming to commemorate their dead friends and relatives. I was also there, to visit my grandfather’s grave. I had the camera with me and I managed to take this magical moment on one of the lanes there.Editing
I used only slight diffuse light from the Photoshop effects and minimal raster, for a more dramatic and film effect.In my camera bag
I usually use only my camera that is available at the moment of the event, I seldom prepare special equipment and the moments, I prefer the moment of surprise. I use either my smart phone, or my camera Canon 1000 D.Feedback
Nothing has a meaning by itself until someone gives it an own view and meaning. For everyone of us everything is different. Whatever you feel and think, that is what you will see, what you will create, what you will photograph. It is not reality that is important by itself but your personal attitude and view on it! Give meaning to what you create in such a way that it first touches you, and then the others.
