Uma das suas fotografias que gosto mais- não só pela sua correcção técnica- mas também e sobretudo pel composição coma a figura humana do primeiro plano a excitar a nossa imaginação. E o chapéu é a cereja no topo

Muito obrigado, caro Afonso. Esta é também uma das minhas fotos favoritas. Houve uma conjugação de factores, mas o gozo maior é, talvez, o facto de a foto ter sido obtida com uma mirrorless pequena e já com uns anos. Às vezes não são precisas grandes máquinas, caras, e muitos filtros: basta a conjugação de alguns factores e o olho do fotográfo.

Behind The Lens

Location

That is my very favorite beach, less than 30 minutes from the centre of Lisbon, where I live. "Praia da Raínha" (Queen Beach) in Costa da Caparica. I love to go to the beach in Autumn and Winter, and that day (3 October 2016) the weather was fine and at 17 hour it was still warm. The low tide, the extention of sand and the light invite me to photograph; so I took my small Casio Exilim and made some shots. Among them this one with the particularity that the lady was in front of me, reflecting in the water and projecting a shadow over the reflection. After, at home, I made some edition to enhance the framing and the tones and I liked the result. Thank you very much for your choice.

Time

3 October 2016, five pm.

Lighting

Portugal and specialy the Lisbon region is very well known by the light and the sky colour. Personally I love the light of the sunset (or near) and the twilight.

Equipment

I was simply using a small Casio Exilim, my hands and my vision.

Inspiration

I was inspired by two kind of major things: the beauty of the lady silhouette and of the seascape - both absolutly wondrous.

Editing

Yes! I allways edit my pics, usualy with more than one program, according with the effect I'm looking for - some times I like the results other times not.

In my camera bag

Nikon D 3200 & Casio Exilim

Feedback

Dear fellows, everything begins in the way of looking the reality and trying to capture that particular moment and angle. It's a matter of sensibility and patience (lots of patience). After, prepare yourselves to deal with frustration, once many of the shots are bad or, at least, not enough good, and don´t have any problems editing photos. It doesn´t matter wich were the reality it mainly matters the reality you creat - just dare you: make your own images, the way you like.
