Night ambiental, a combination of various lightsources with prevalent sodium street lights. What the camera decided to use was ISO1000 for 1/8th sec exposure with f/2 aperture. Otherwise, 0.00 eV, Metering Mode: Pattern, Flash Did not fire, and Focal Length: 4.5 mmEquipment
I used the Olympus TG-2, my usual choice for underwater photos, but also when I don't care having some bigger camera along. And it can make pretty shots in weird light if it has to! This photo was shot while strolling, out of hand, with no add-ons.Inspiration
I took several shots that evening, and can't really recall any special motivation for any of those. It's simply that I'm used to have a camera along wherever I go, and the need to click at something somehow creates itself out of nowhere.Editing
Just routine - re-cropping to a better frame is what I do when there was no time to do it at the shooting moment, and I also had to resize the results for upload. Nothing more.In my camera bag
For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag 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. My tripod has its permanent place in the car. The vest pockets usually contain two cameras, one of those is always waterproof. Sometimes I'll carry a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. Other pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to anything around, and in many cases can replace a tripod. The vest has pockets for longer lenses that 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, so that's all I need. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; a variable-volume McKinley. Simplicity and comfort are two best qualities for me in the Outdoors!Feedback
Always have a camera along, and make plenty of shots. Some of those you might happen to like better than what you viewed at the moment! Never forget: if you do not have a camera with you, life will find a way to create opportunities for good shots - just to teach you a lesson. And you'll be sorry. ;)
