Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at Lisbon Oceanarium, PortugalTime
Photo taken at about 19.30h during a visit to the OceanariumLighting
Inside a building, the light is always different. In this case, the light coming from the water tanks was enough to illuminate the fishes. As the corridors were dark, the light was OK.Equipment
By that time, I took the photo with my older Olympus digital camera. No flash and no tripod.Inspiration
I love Nature, as often written by me. This big fish stood out from the others in that tank and called my special attention. Then, I took various photos of it and luckily got it just in front of me.Editing
Yes, I did post processing. Trying to make something different, I used the photo and prepared an oval form around it with Paint program, then making a black background around. That's it.In my camera bag
By the time, I only had an OLYMPUS camera. Now, I normally have it and the new Canon Powershot SX710HS in my bag. Also, a small tripod and extra batteries.Feedback
For me, this is the most difficult part of this form. I'm an amateur and I follow my instinct most of the times. In this case, I thought that the contrast between the dark corridors and the illuminated water/fishes could result in an interesting photo. Then, just clicking and clicking until getting the best position of the subject to shoot.
