Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture in Bavaria in Germany. We took a train up to near the top of a mountain in a very rugged area.

Time

It was 10:30 in the morning, in May. There was some snow on the mountains and some clusters of trees.

Lighting

It was a sunny morning with a few white clouds. The sun shown on the snow and there were some very dark places in the shade, accentuating how rugged the mountains were. It was truly amazing to see this tiny chapel perched on what looked like an impossible place to get to. We wondered how anyone could have built it.

Equipment

All I had was my iPhone. I’m not a professional photographer. I’m a wannabe photographer. I take thousands of pictures, always trying to capture the beauty of what I’m seeing.

Inspiration

The contrast of the rugged mountain and the little chapel was mesmerizing. I wondered then, and still do wonder how anyone was able to build it. It was truly inspiring and beautiful!

Editing

I cropped it.

In my camera bag

All I had was my phone. I have a camera and bag, but When I’m running around, I usually just have my phone.

Feedback

Go exploring. Look for things you do not ordinarily see. Look for the contrasts. Look for the magic.
