Location
The photograph was taken on the beach in the fishing village of Burgau. I am an amateur photographer and I am always looking for new experiences and beautiful settings.Time
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite photographs and the one with the most appreciators. It was achieved in the late afternoon of a winter day when the fog and the sea combined for this result.Lighting
I captured this moment by the strength given by the contrast between the strong light coming from the sea and the dim light of the beach and the cliffs. Between the sea and the land a child plays and other people stroll as if walking through their nebulous, indefinite lives.Equipment
Canon PowerShot SX20 ISInspiration
I was just strolling when I came across this light, this contrast between sea light and a gloomy coast united by fog and occupied by people and a child who simply played by the sea.I couldn't resist the light, the beauty and the message that life is made by walking between light and darkness.Editing
No post-processingIn my camera bag
I had a PowerShot SX20 IS with which I took this photo. Today I always have a Panasonic Lumix TZ-220 with me and when I go out to photograph I have an EOS 70D with an EFS 18-200 lensFeedback
Portugal is a beautiful country with a huge variety of scenarios and environments to be captured. The important thing in order to get a good photo is to always be awake for what comes ahead and know how to wait and choose the best moment.
