Location
This foto was taken during holidays in Greece - Island ChiosTime
10:15 amLighting
it was cloudy and the light was not so intense like if it would be in a full sunny day without clouds. It gives the picture some dramaticEquipment
Canon DIGITAL IXUS 60; no tripod,no flashInspiration
I found that old windmils are realy nice to see and apreciate; its a part of history of the islands and shows how people lived in ancient times using the power of the wind to work on their cereals.Editing
Yes i used some filters to give the heaven even more dramatic look - the yellow color is from the filter i usde.In my camera bag
Now i dont use that Canon Ixus, i have a Fujifilm X-T20 with me and some lenses, a tripod also.Feedback
Use a time of the day which allows you to take the foto without tourists. Avoid the hot times of the day; i found some clouds even nicer than a blue heaven without any clouds. In the evening it would also be a good time - in the blue hour.
