Behind The Lens

Location

This photo is taken from a road near or overlooking Kanton Schwyz in Switzerland. Location on map: 47° 2' 16.24" N 8° 38' 26.77" E.

Time

I took the photo around 17:00 CEST on the 31st of May 2014.

Lighting

The sun coming down as the day passes, makes some beautiful lighting on the open fields, i really loved the combination between the small village down there and the nature/rocky site on the back.

Equipment

Believe it or not but i used the older model Nikon DSLR D3100 with standard VR lens 18-55mm at free hand, i made 128 shots and blended the photo with ptgui to make this picture, has a total of 25 megapixel and a full size of 9000px by 4100px.

Inspiration

I love sunsets, landscapes and nature, that's what made me make this photo, i just saw how beautiful this site would be on photo and given it was my first time in Switzerland i'd be sure to put it on photo ;-)

Editing

I made 128 shots and blended the photo with ptgui to make this picture, has a total of 25 megapixel and a full size of 9000px by 4100px. Further on i did some contrast and other HDR processing to it just to get more depth of field in the photo.

In my camera bag

Nowadays i do carry a Nikon D3200 18-55mm with me or a Panasonic FZ1000 (because of the zoom) but there are a lot of ways the zoom still cannot cope with lighting so i prefer a normal camera.

Feedback

Yes! Switzerland is beautiful! I was actually passing through with the car to Italy but when i arrived in Italy i wanted to go back to Switzerland because of the serene beauty the country has to offer. Ireland! On a good sunny day you will be blessed to take some beautiful photo's. Next to that beauty is not always where you think you can find it, sometimes it is just in front of your face without you knowing ;-) be more open!
