I took this photo at the Tunnel View Point at Yosemite National Park. Some very nice guy at the Valet parking of our hotel told us we had to stop there when we get there. We weren't disappointed when we saw this breathtaking view!Time
I think it was around noon, shortly after we entered the park that day.Lighting
We were lucky and arrived there in bright sunlight. The lightning couldn't have been better!Equipment
To be honest, just an old plain iPhone SE, handheld.Inspiration
When standing in front of a view like this, the picture basically takes itself! I soaked in that view and certainly I wanted to capture it as a reminder of this otherwordly scenery.Editing
I adjusted some settings with Snapseed (brightness, vignetting, etc.) and put a coloured filter on it with Faded, this is my usual procedure with photos I shoot on the iPhone.In my camera bag
Usually I rather shoot Polaroids, so when I go out shooting I have at least one Polaroid SLR with me like the iconic Polaroid SX-70 or Polaroid SLR 680. In the last few weeks, I also tried to shoot on 35mm but haven't had the time to expand this yet. I am now also getting into digital photography and am currently planning and saving to purchase a decent digital camera!Feedback
I don't know if I am in the place to give advice for other photographers with a simple iPhone shot, but I guess that's the point: It doesn't matter what equipment you have or how expensive it is. You don't need this camera or that lens to take good photos. They come from within. It is about training your view, paying attention to the little details, broaden your imagination, selecting the right angle and the right frame for your photo.
