Behind The Lens

Location

The picture was taken at Ruacana falls on the 29th of March 2003. This time of the yaer was chosen due to usual rains flooding the river. Other times would not give you this impresion since low waters do not produce that much fall. I was photographing from Namibian side of the fall. (Angolian side is not very much comfortable. Any photographer might face verious kinds of trublles there)

Time

It was mid day. To make it more punctual - 12.15. tyis time will give you in sunny day perfect rainbows.

Lighting

The best time to make pictures with rainboes there is something from 10.00 up to 15.00. Any way one has to be patient.

Equipment

It was sony sybershot 177

Inspiration

That was the great impression received from roaring and shining lites

Editing

Onle photoshop after many years

In my camera bag

at that time I was usually having in my bag food ration. Though Namibia provides very good catering, yaet there could be surprises of nobody knows where from. Becouse I was not a professional photographer I could not imagine of anything else apart from camera to be put i my bag in terms of eguipment.

Feedback

If some body intends to go to Ruacana to make similar pictures better to do it in April - March which is rainy season. Sometime there no rains at all. Then you are unlucky.
