I love infinity shots which really give a 3D effect and this one fits the bill perfectly! Excellent!

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture, standing on a bridge. I was on the way to Knokke on the Belgian coast. This is the canal from Bruges to Damme. This is West-Flanders, Belgium.

Time

Morning.

Lighting

Over lighted pictures are never beautiful.. but under lighted pictures, it can be.. it depends of the situation.

Equipment

This is taken with my first little digital camera. I think it was a Samsung. I did not used a tripod or any other support, it's by free hands.

Inspiration

The lines of the water and the trees... The dept perception and also the soft morning light.

Editing

If I see my picture is not correctly horizontal or in the middle, I always adjust before uploading.. Yes, I was correcting this shot.

In my camera bag

Now I'm making pictures with a Panasonic DMC-FZ72 LUMIX camera. Not a reflex camera. I have 60x optical zoom.

Feedback

Follow your instinct.. keep it simple ! Make horizons horizontal, and shots with a center, make it really in the center. As member of the ViewBug jury, I already gave many times this advice. It's so painful to see horizons who are not horizontal.
