A collection of odd objects in an antique pumpkin-like tin box. There are some nutritives to be cracked, a pair of balls, lots of shiny things - and the bulb, so often used to suggest an "idea". This must've been some funny idea...

Location
This was photographed in Zagreb, near Sava river, on a nice Summer Sunday. I took this decorative copper pumpkin together with some thingies along on one of my photo walk-drives, and used the car roof as a background for the object.Time
I have lost the Exif data somewhere, but it must have been in the late morning (since my trips of that kind usually were scheduled for one of two weekend days). Thus, maybe 1000 or 1100 hours...Lighting
Lighting was exclusively supplied by the day, as I was kinda experimenting with my Oly SP570UZ. The setting were Aperture f/5.6, ISO 64, and Shutter speed 1/100th of a sec.?Equipment
Olympus Superzoom SP570UZ was my go-to camera for taking along on any and every outing in 2009 and 2010. And I preferred to shoot out of hand - same as with this one!Inspiration
Mainly textures, to be frank. That was the reason for picking objects of different texture and surface characteristics.Editing
I only had to crop the photo so as to concentrate on the "pumpkin" and its contents. The camera did all the rest by itself.In my camera bag
For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. It is more than enough to take along whatever I want or need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually stay home or in the car, to keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The tripod has its permanent place in the car. My vest pockets usually contain two cameras. Regardless of which is the "main" camera, one of those is always some waterproof model, if the weather plays up or when I find something interesting in the shallows. Nowadays I usually use Nikon P900 or Sony RX100m7, and the waterproof backup is an Olympus TG-2 or a Paralenz DiveCam. Other vest pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to almost anything. In many cases this can replace a tripod. The vest has deep pockets for longer lenses, and these usually hold a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate - if I plan on being out for the whole day. I always pack about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. Much can be improvised with these if need be. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; one variable-volume McKinley. In the Outdoors, simplicity and comfort are my most important requirements!Feedback
