Location
This photo was taken during one of my trips. I had been living in Germany for a few months and the weather was cold. I missed the beach so I went to a local travel agent and asked her to find me somewhere nice. We agreed on Gran Canaria, Spain. It was an amazing trip. The photo was taken at the Arehucas Rum Distillery located at Apartado de Correos 1, 35400 Arucas, Gran Canaria, Spain.Time
It was during my tour of the distillery during the middle of the day. We were indoors so the time of day and weather had little to do with the composition.Lighting
The lighting is just the camera's flash.Equipment
The camera was an Olympus Tough and I took the photo handheld with the built-in flash.Inspiration
Many of the barrels had paintings on them. This one really spoke to me and stood out among the rest. I love it because it made me think that the man was a distiller who loved his batch so much that he wanted to be inside the barrel with his creation. I imagine he was closing the door behind him as he was settling into his new home.Editing
No post editing on this one that I remember doing.In my camera bag
At the time, it was just my Olympus Tough. I carry a few more items now than I used to.Feedback
