Behind The Lens

Location

In the very beautiful Ski resort in Zermat , Switzerland.

Time

It was about noon.

Lighting

I think the sun above and little to my left did the trick. At that time I was not so concerned where the sun was and what time of the day it was. It was an opportunity and I had to use it. I was very happy that it worked out this well. I am very 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 photo.

Equipment

Sony DSC-H55.

Inspiration

Pictures of the Matterhorn always caught my eye, and here I taking my very 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 700D 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.
