Behind The Lens
Location
Spain, just outside ManresaTime
Early afternoonLighting
Interior: natural sunlight - through a kitchen window, enhanced by the intense colour & reflective surfaces of glazed tilesEquipment
Canon EOS 600D with tripod & standard 55mm kit lensInspiration
It was a very hot day - draining heat, certainly too hot to go outside, almost too hot inside too. This swollen, red, ripe tomato was a perfect metaphor for how I felt!Editing
Some contrast & saturation enhancement in Photoshop - but only a littleIn my camera bag
Canon EOS bodies & interchangeable lenses, with various filters - esp polarising filterFeedback
Do not be afraid of intense colours & reflective surfaces. And don't be immediately tempted to change a ready-made find like this by trying to 'improve' the position of objects in frame or overthinking light sources etc. - it will only show in the final analysis!
