Location
This photo was taken at the Chinese cemetery in Victoria British Columbia. I am a self-taught photographer but have just recently started taking a photography class in university.Time
This image was taken just after sunset, on a beautiful overcast summer day. My sister and I had been shooting all day all over town, this was one of the last photos we took of the day.Lighting
It all about time and place, lighting can be tricky especially natural lighting. This image was taken right after sunset so flash was necessary, but luckily there was still some colour in the sky so you can still tell it was taken outside.Equipment
I used a canon T3i with the flash on.Inspiration
It was inspired by my love for vintage/retro clothing; I have been collecting these clothes since I was a little girl and I always wanted to do something more with them. So I decided to take a photograph of them in beautiful places around the island.Editing
I used colour enhancements and filters to dramatize the scene and bring more colour to the image. Because it was getting dark and I had to use flash, the colour became over exposed. I dimmed the image and brought up the saturation along with a light filter.In my camera bag
I find that there is always an opportunity where we least expect it, so, therefore, I always carry my camera ( Canon T3i) with me everywhere I go. I wouldn't want to miss an opportunity to take an amazing photo. If I am going out to shoot, I will always pack my tripod, a towel, snacks :) and of course my camera.Feedback
Right after sunset, use flash, wear bright colours.
