An excellent tavern in Istra (Croatia), adapted from typical ancient village house. To me, one of its attractions is the combination of electric lights and daylight piercing the smoke of an open hearth.

The camera was an Olympus SP570UZ. Very good model, BTW.Inspiration
Simply, the inspiration was great lighting in the tavern! Sometimes it is quite a good reason, and enough - regardless of the image contents.Editing
The photo has been re-cropped, otherwise it is as SOOC as can be.In my camera bag
I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip, while my photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one photo clamp standing in for a tripod. Recently I include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest also has large-lens pockets that contain a small water bottle, sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. My smartphone comes along too. It has yet another spare camera, but more importantly the Spirit Level App wich I use to make the phone a perfectly horizontal surface under my camera. This is essential for panoramic sweeps. The app is free, and requires no extra permissions whatsoever. The large back pocket of the vest is reserved for a lightweight rain poncho. If the weather suddenly plays up, the poncho neatly covers all. Using the tools mentioned above, much can be improvised along the way, so that's all I need to make photos.Feedback
Just this: always have a camera at hand and shoot, shoot, shoot! There will be keepers, there will be throwaways, but the latter will cost you just some battery power! The ones you keep are bound to have some extraordinary memories! Enjoy the Good Light! :)
