Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture in Molveno, Italy, while walking on the beach of this lake.Time
Probably one of the worst times for photography... shortly after noonLighting
Although it was noon I liked the idea of taking a picture with that kind of light, I saw it as a challengeEquipment
I used my first reflex ever, a simple but fantistic canon eos 1100d, with my 11-18mm Tamron lens, no tripod, no spirit level (is it right?)... only my eyes and my arms to take the picture straight.Inspiration
I was walking and... find that tree alone, in that context it gave me a feeling of tranquility and peace, so I tried to capture that emotion.Editing
I am really denied with post production, and even when I do night shots I try to do the best I can at that instant, because I really do not understand anything of it!!In my camera bag
Well, normally I have a Tamron 70-300mm, a Tamron 11-18 and a Canon 18-55mm because i can do all type of photography i need. In my bag i have also some kits for lens cleaning, a polarized filter for the Tamrons, a rain kit, a remote, some paper, a pencil and of course my faithful Manfrotto tripod.Feedback
It is absolutely true that for a good photo you need excellent skills and knowledge, and often you have to study the composition, exposure and so on. In my short experience as a photographer I realized that the best photos are the ones most unexpected, more spontaneous. And I think that's what you need to take a picture like that... spontaneity.
