Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at Cape Espichel, Sesimbra - Portugal . I didn't expect to catch this moment actually, it was very surprising .

Time

Wow, what a question ... This moment was very spontaneous because, like i said, i wasn't expecting . It was on a day where i had guests and we decided to visit Cape Espichel for the first time and , surprisingly, there were some guys flying around that area so i decided , if the photo work, that it could be cool taking some photos of them paragliding . This photo was taken in October 2015 between 04:00 or 05:00 pm in the afternoon .

Lighting

Originally the photo was too "light" , the colors were plain i would say ... So i had to bright the image, make it "pop" , so i used some effects to do so. To be very honest, i didn't made too many changes just an effect to make the picture "POP" , i just made what my eyes would like to visualize .

Equipment

At the time i didn't had too much equipment ... To be honest, i didn't had anything at all.. All i had was an used digital camera that it wasn't even mine but i used her a lot to take pictures wherever i would go . It was a Canon Powershot A540, that was it .

Inspiration

Nothing to be honest. It was momentary, spontaneous, it was a beautiful unique and good surprise from that moment.

Editing

Yes, i used a brighter effect and a vintage effect because i love those vintage effects that makes the photo so beautiful and the colors pop :) .

In my camera bag

I'm a newbie , i have to say and be honest about it . Recently i received ( as a Christmas gift ) a photography pack, with a camera, two lenses and a bag. And i've been taking some cool photos recently . Usually i have in my bag the body ( the camera itself), the lens and a cleaning cloth . I'm very simple , and these are the only things that i need to go on a adventure and take loads of pictures :)

Feedback

Be at the right place , on the right time . That's the only thing i can say because that's exactly what happened to me and it couldn't have worked out better .
