Location
It was my first visit to Pompeii in the Metropolitan City of Naples in Italy. The city is mainly famous for the ruins of the ancient city of Pompeii. You can still feel the cruelty of nature in the remains of this city; the bodies of Mothers covering with their own arms the small bodies of what seems to be their own children's. A dog (most likely a pet), trying to free itself from his chain. A man covering his face with both of his arms as trying to avoid death. Walls that still preserve the colors and beautiful patterns but today are just ruin, among others.....became a morbid tourist attraction of so much despair this people most have felts on that terrible night/day.Time
5:45pm.Lighting
The credit goes to the golden hour. Perfect timing .Equipment
NIKON D5100 Lens: 18-55 mm Aperture: f/3.5 Focal length: 18 mm Shutter speed: 10/300 s ISO: 1400Inspiration
It still has preserved the horror and suffering all these years.Editing
Just changed it to black and white, it gives a more direct feeling to what I felt when taking this photo.In my camera bag
Just my NIKON, sorry. I have no experience in the world of Photography.Feedback
Always bring your camera anywhere you go, and treat it as your third eye; let it be free, let it show you around.Trust me, there is a whole new universe throughout any photographic camera your hands pick up.
