Behind The Lens

Location

This foto was taken in de S. Miguel island, Açores

Time

I'm not exactly sure but I think was about midday

Lighting

Tinha chovido e estava o solo todo molhado, as nuvens sobre o local onde estava eram negras e pesadas, a Lagoa das Sete Cidades brilhava de contrastes uma vez que ao fundo, sobre o mar o sol raiava. Os verdes que envolviam a lagoa eram desde claros a quase negros.

Equipment

I used a D5500 Nikon with a Nikon DX 18-140mm 1:3,5-5,6G, without tripod, or flash

Inspiration

The place and the light was my inspiration. I took a serious risk to take this shot. I climbed the edges of the crater to a point where I could cover almost the entire lagoon and be able to see the sea in the background and be able to register the visible contrast and the shadows of the cutouts in the water of the caldera. On the way back I slipped and managed to get attached to something and stop slipping trying to hold the machine at the same time so it doesn't get damaged. And I was lucky.

Editing

The photo has no post processing it is like it was taken.

In my camera bag

Normaly I only take with me one camara and one lens. Before go somewhere I chose the câmara and the lens I think are the most flexible to the palce I go.

Feedback

Take care when you decide to climb places like the borders of a crater, take with you speciel shoes and clothes and take also gloves to be well protected. The moss on the flour and the stones are really dangerous.
