Behind The Lens

Location

In the very beautiful ski resort of Zermat, Switzerland.

Time

It was about noon.

Lighting

I think the sun above, and little to the left, did the trick. At that time I was not very concerned about lighting. It was an opportunity and I had to use it! I was very happy that it worked out so well. I am new in this game and still have a lot to learn. From my little experience I noticed that the lighting setting and focus point are important for a good foto.

Equipment

Sony DSC-H55.

Inspiration

Pictures of the Matterhorn always caught my eye, and here I was, knowing that I must go down there to take my own photo of the Matterhorn

Editing

I cropped the photo using Microsoft.

In my camera bag

At that time I only had the Sony. Now I use a Standard Canon kit. I always have a spare battery and memory card.

Feedback

Always be alert for an opportunity and never be without your camera. I was never sorry that I made the extra effort to get to the right spot. The next day it was snowing!
