Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken on a small hilltop of the Leisure Centre in Kecskemét, Hungary.Time
I've shooted this photo in a winter afternoon, when the sun was almost gone and the lights were beautiful.Lighting
There were a natural, mysterious lights through the clouds, so I didn't need any artificial lighting to use.Equipment
Unfortunately in these times I didn't have any professional camera, so I've used only my cell phone, a Samsung Galaxy S3, not exactly the latest version..., but there is a good Ernst Haas quote, that I completely agree with “The camera doesn’t make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE.”Inspiration
As a beginner, amateur photographer, I wanted to try to take some sunset photos from the hilltop. They didn't do as well as I would have liked, but when I was ready to go down the hilltop and turned around, I noticed the wonderful scene with the lonely tree and the two people around him. First I was sorry that there were people around the tree, but then I realized that this adding a surplus report and drama to the picture - Loneliness and PeopleEditing
Post processing is a very important tool for artistic expression, I personally like to use it, but only when the image requires it. In this particular case I increased saturation and changed a little bit of color balance, but not too much.In my camera bag
I'm a selftaught amateur photograper. I started with photography only one year ago, when I received a Sony ILCE camera. So my equipment is currently a SONY ILCE-5000 camera, Lens model EPZ 16-50mm F3.5-5.6. In the near future, I would like to have a more professional camera and different lenses to be immersed in macro photography, portraying, or just getting distant things in the lens, but my current machine was good enough to learn and practice the basics.Feedback
To make a good picture and catch the moment, I think you must always be ready and respond quickly, so you do not miss the chance of good shooting. Another aspect is the visual sensitivity, to notice things that others may not see. And the third important thing - I think - is to do it with heart and soul.
