Behind The Lens
Location
The picture was taken in Poland. I was walking home along the road where there was beautiful woodland...few kilometres of autumn forest.Time
It was cool, windy early afternoon. I stopped to capture the beauty of the surroundings.Lighting
Natural day light coming through colourful leaves, subtly highlighted the colours and created interesting shadowing.Equipment
The picture was taken by Camera SM-J500FNInspiration
I love photographing everything that surrounds me. Not only interesting objects but also compositions, people and nature. The autumn forest looked very picturesque. The path leading to the middle of the forest, quietness and variety of colours provoked me to capture the moment. The picture inspires me to draw a painting as well.Editing
In case of this picture, in order to give it a special character and make it mysterious I used brush effect. I brushed part of the picture to make the important part - the path - the main point to attract the viewers and also to add deepness.In my camera bag
In my bag I normally carry art materials to draw and paint paintings. However I never leave behind my mobile phone camera and my other camera FinePix S2950. Unfortunately I don't own a professional camera which I am not too happy about because I am aware that good equipment is half of the success.Feedback
I am aware that I'm not a professional photographer. I can't give any technical advices. However as a painter I can say that sometimes it's worthy to stop in order to spot in your surroundings something special, beautiful and worth attention. The subject is important and what we want to demonstrate in our photos. But also our emotions are crucial and thank to them we'll create special atmosphere and mood. I think that good conditions when we are taking photo such as light has influence on the quality of our pictures.
