Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken on my way back home from work. It was taken from my car, while driving, and i managed to take the opportunity and capturing this picture

Time

This photo was taken in the late afternoon, before sunset, around 17:30, exactly when the sun is in your eyes when driving and when the colours of the sun and the sky are the most beautiful landscape ever

Lighting

The sun was my main source of lighting. I actually had to reduce the aperture and iso to get just enough light to capture the perfect picture.

Equipment

This photo was shot from my Sony Xperia Z5 and the only equipment involved was my hands.

Inspiration

I always love this time of the day where the pictures come out just perfectly. I like photography and I just have the eye of noticing an opportunity and when it is there I just take the opportunity

Editing

Yes there was processing involved. I just adjusted the exposure and made a slight adjustment to the highlights. I made the picture slightly sharper to bring out extra detail. I try to keep it as natural as possible at the same time looking professional.

In my camera bag

I normally use my Xperia Z5 but when I'm touring around anywhere, I've got a Canon 500d which i use primarily.

Feedback

Be spontaneous when capturing a picture. Don't hesitate because the opportunity won't last forever. And only the lighting of the shot is very important.
