Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in a museum in Amsterdam; the Hermitage.Time
It must have been about 2 pm.Lighting
This bust was placed in a glass showcase in front of a black wall. It was wonderfull lit from above and reflected nicely. I only had to click...Equipment
I have a Lumix DMC-TZ100, all my photos are taken with this little miracle of a camera...The best thing about this camera is that it has a good Leica lens and it is very easy to carry with you because it practically fits in your back pocket. I didn't use any extra equipment, I took the photo spontaniously free out of hand.Inspiration
This bust is a study in clay created by one of my favorite 17th century Dutch sculptors; Arthus Quellinus. I liked the way this bust was lighted and the faint reflections in the glass behind.Editing
I did some minor corrections in Lightroom and cropped the photo, that's all.In my camera bag
I don't have any equipment in my bag (yet) I am a beginning photographer and I am learning to use a camera, to look for the good light, composition and point of view. One day when I know how to use and set the camera well enough, I will start to think about a bag filled with technical things instead of the need to understand how it works first...Feedback
To capture an image like this is very simple, just look around you and be bewondered about the beautiful and crazy world we are living in. When I walk through a museum or anywhere else, I allways look around me very carefully to see the details of which the world around me is build up. I try to look through a pinhole, without forgetting the whole picture. If you look at a subject to photograph, you have to try to realise what you want to achieve, Try to find the good light, the right point of view and the best composition... Once you get home and open your laptop, the magic of today's world begins... I allways crop it later into the size and composition I like best. Crop the photo in different ways, so you can choose the best one the next day when you can have a fresh look at them!
