Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was made in Zagreb (Croatia), from the loggia of the flat where I used to live. Sixteen floors up, or something like 50 meters above ground. Wide vista guaranteed!Time
May 7th, 2006 at 15:14:42 is the moment when the photo first gestalted into its digital form. Can't do better than that, since this has been originally made on slide film (Fujichrome Sensia).Lighting
Purely ambiental; city lights in the night through the fog below. No other light was neither needed, nor actually possible. :)Equipment
The camera was a SONY F-828 loaded with Fujichrome Sensia (100ASA). It was used by leaning on the balcony railing, thus something like "almost out of hand". No add-on gear was used.Inspiration
What you see is what the inspiration was... :)Editing
The slidefilm was scanned (in a rather humble scanner), and maybe just straightened and cropped a bit. The lower half of the image was lightened in the post-process, but just slightly.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
Since such an image would probably require a longer exposure, I'd say use the tripod, and activate the shutter by remote control.
