Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in the old town section of Cartagena, Colombia. I was visiting the city while on a trip through the Panama Canal. I am a self taught photographer and a lover of history.

Time

I remember it was about 10:00 AM. While walking up the ramp to the top of the wall surrounding the old city this beautiful yellow building with balconies covered with bright bougainvillea caught my eye. Looking at it made me feel like I was back in the 1600's

Lighting

The streets of the old town are very narrow and most of the buildings have covered balconies which causes shadows. This building, which is now a hotel is next to the wall that surrounding the old town. It has more access to the natural light and being up on the ramp to the city wall allowed even more of the natural light to hit the building.

Equipment

This was a hand held photo using my Nikon P510 camera. No other equipment was used.

Inspiration

I love history and seeing this brightly colored building with the beautiful flowers on the balconies made me feel like I was back in the 1600's.

Editing

I used Lightroom to set the white balance points and I cropped the photo so the focus was on this single building.

In my camera bag

I carry with me my Nikon P510 camera with which I can easily take macro to telescopic photos. I carry two 8 x10 pieces of foam board. One is black and one is white on one side and aluminum foil attached to the other to affect the lighting. I take my tripod and my case containing my adapter and UV, CPL, FLD and Neutral Density Filters.

Feedback

When looking for your next great photo, look all around you. The best shot may be behind you or above as this one was for me. Change your perspective by bending down or getting your camera higher. Most cameras now have a view screen that you can rotate and still see the scene while holding the camera lower or up higher.
