Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Istria region, during my travels through Croatia.Time
I remember it was the second half of the day, early evening. My friends and I were strolling around when we stumble upon this alleyway. It looked so authentic and local so I had to take a photo of it.Lighting
I wanted this image to look as natural as possible. The evening light was perfect for this kind of shot - not too shiny and yet not too dark. Lightning helped to create a natural feel for this composition.Equipment
I travel a lot, so I carry my Samsung ST88 everywhere I go. This was not an exception. No other equipment was used.Inspiration
During my travels, I like to take photos that best represent not only the beauty of the place but also the feel of it. Once I accidentally saw this place I thought to myself "This looks so uniquely local and beautiful, it shows more about the place then all those touristy streets." Once I saw it, I knew I had to snap the photo.Editing
There were no post-processing done to this photo. Everything you see in this photo is the same as it was shot.In my camera bag
My Samsung ST88 became my best travel companion for quite a while know. When you traveling the last thing you want to do is overpack - so a small and efficient camera was the solution for me. It easily fits not only in my bag but also in my pocket - so it's great to take pictures anytime, anywhere. This little buddy of mine will also go to my next adventures.Feedback
Croatia is a very beautiful place, but to find a really authentic look, to find the feel of the country, you have look beyond usual places. Just follow your instincts and take the shot!
