Location
This photograph was taken, in Portugal in the locality of Carcavelos, is in the line of Cascais, between Carcavelos and Cascais we have many beach. I love living near the sea ... To sum up in Carcavelos we have a beach with about 2 km, perfect for water sports, Surf, windSurf, Paddle etc, we have schools in this beach for water sports. But back to what matters, so we can go to the beach on foot we have several tunel, because over the road goes the cahama the marginal, which connects Carcavelos to Cascais. For security, whoever goes on foot, enter one of the tunnels, I love to photograph in this tunnels, I really like human shadows and silhouettes and here is perfect for capturing this kind of image.Time
Well, although I remember this photo was taken in the summer I was on vacation with my family, I went to the beach alone with my son, and as I always carry behind me my old camera, a warrior ... in relation to the time I think It was close to noon 12pm. Where the sun was in his glory, very hot.Lighting
In relation to the light, inside the tunnel and with the sun of 12pm, the light that enters does hurt the eyes, we have to close our eyes when entering the tunnel, because the light is strong .. In relation to the photograph I did not worry much because I wanted a great white light exposure to enter the tunnel, to be able to capture the shadows and human silhouettes .. had the camera in A Mode (aperture). My intention was to have a strong white light entering the tunnel.Equipment
To be very honest, as I was going to the beach, I only took the camera, the only thing I did, was to sit on the floor at the entrance of the tunnel and wait for the right moment of people to enter, and hold the camera well. Without equipment, only me and my camera, sitting on the floor, LOL my son told me are you crazy dad, because they were to enter several people in the tunnel, and I sitting in the middle and people passing to go to the beach. but you want a photo and keep in mind, hahahah do everything to getInspiration
My inspiration, a very good question, as I said I like shadows and silhouettes, and here in this tunnel I know, that I can have a good image on this theme, I take a lot of photography here in this tunnel. But this time I wanted only two to four people to enter the tunnel, it took me a while because there were more people going to the beach at that time, and many of those people were passing behind me when I was sitting at the tunnel entrance, and what I wanted was people coming from the beach to enter the tunnel, and after a while I got two people who were coming in, I had my camera, my son by my side and two strangers coming in. I puch the button and catch this photo.Editing
For this photo, I did not change anything, the only thing I did, and it was even in the camera itself in her program, was to modify to black and white. In terms of software, I use ON1 RAW, Luminar, Aurora HDR, and PhotoLemur, and Afinnity Photo, I stopped using Photoshop.In my camera bag
Right in my backpack, I take my old camera, a Panasonic Lumix FZ72 bridge. A Nikon D5600 with 18-55mm lenses 1: 3.5 - 5.6G VR, My latest recent acquisition. A Manfrotto tripod and a mini tripod also from Manfrotto, I really like this brand, I also take two SJCAM action cams an M20 and a SJ6 Legend, I have Density filters for Nikon and action cams.Feedback
If you had a photograph in mind and know well the place where you can go to photograph, have patience and calm that the photograph will come, I had in my house I had about 15 minutes to take this photograph, I took several, but this was the one I had in mind ... Another thing, when photographing, it is better to go alone, because it is too stressful, to go with friends or family or even our children, usually does not have much patience, Photography is a "Moment in Time for all and Eternity" and if you have one image in the mind, that want to Eternize, we have to have patience and to go Alone, well accompanied by our camera. Patience Wait for the right moment Take several photos until you grasp the one we have in mind, Using a Tripod And to love the moment, peace, and tranquility, to capture "A MOMENT FOR ETERNITY"
