The world around you reflects in every tiny dewdrop... The old market vendor contemplates his life between the remains of a days work. Closed by an old cloth, this house was abandoned in such a melancholic manner... makes you wonder. This spider sat on the door of my white van, two shots were enough! She is so cute... This wooden spiral staircase was build in Amsterdam in the 16th century. walking towards the unknown...

Behind The Lens

Location
I took this photo in Sintra, Portugal.
Time
It was about 13 PM.
Lighting
I didn't use a flash, this door was under a covered entrance of a castle.
Equipment
I have a Lumix DMC-TZ100, all my photos are taken with this little miracle of a camera...The best thing about this camera is that it has a good Leica lens and it is very easy to carry with you because it practically fits in your back pocket. I didn't use any extra equipment, I took the photo spontaniously free out of hand.
Inspiration
The moment I saw these padlocks intertwined in the shape of a locked heart, I was struck by the symbolism of these locks on the old doors, keeping them closed or together? I wanted to create a dark and mysterious photo with a vfew highlights to emphasise the heart.
Editing
I did very little post-processing in Lightroom. I converted the photo in black and white , cropped it and played a little with the contrast.
In my camera bag
I don't have any equipment in my bag (yet) I am a beginning photographer and I am learning to use a camera, to look for the good light, composition and point of view. One day when I know how to use and set the camera well enough, I will start to think about a bag filled with technical things instead of the need to understand how it works first...
Feedback
If you want to take a photo like this one, just look around for the simple every day compositions... Avoid the direct sunlight because it creates hard highlights and dark shadows. If you look at a subject to photograph, you have to try to realise what you want to achieve, Try to find the good light, the right point of view and the best composition... And most of all, take more shots with slightly different settings so you can choose the best one, once you get home and open your laptop when the magic of today's digital world begins... I allways crop it later into the size and composition I like best. Crop the photo in different ways, so you can choose the best one the next day when you can have a fresh look at them!
