Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the HEART of Winter, on a cold day reaching (-4) degrees that day when a few of us set out to Climb the Iron Crown (6975 ft ) highest base in Limpopo. We were laughing out loud... surrounded by 10000 of Pine trees and wilderness alone... was Beautiful.

Time

The day was moving fast. It was in the Middle of July in HANNERSBERG IN THE Limpop at 17:10pm

Lighting

There was not to much light but just enough. It was beautiful, Lighting, glaring trickling threw the Pine trees balancing the light for the shot that it would no be over exposed when taking the shot.

Equipment

I used a SM-G900F Samsung phone with the following settings : *Aperture - 1115, *ISO-40 *Shutter speed -11336 *Focal Length -24/5. These phones camera are a 16 megapixel and capture robust color reproduction.

Inspiration

Being in a " Happy space with your Friends and the Magnificent scenery gave off this positive ora and captured a few shots because if the Human soul is at peace so is Nature. It inspired me to capture that moment . The Funny thing here is that I had a SM-900F while they were holding a go-pro in there hands while taking the Picture.

Editing

I only merged a black and white mask over the Original Jpeg

In my camera bag

I always pack in my Canon EOS 700D camera only having with a lens of efs 18-55mm image stabilizer macro 0.25m/0.8ft and extra SD cards for a back up and a hand book helping to teach me to achieve better shots .

Feedback

If you are trying to capture a picture similar to this, The sun should be in front of you while trying to take that picture the sun is still going down during sunset. As you will see in the picture the lighting was evenly divided among the tress' and on the road giving me enough light to Capture the perfect composure of the picture.You can use the Flash to bring in more flare but on another note with no Flash it will give you the raw beautiful light around you giving it more character and depth that's more Realism. Focus your Camera centrally that you can get the best of all the goodness happening around you.
