Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture in Sirmione, on the shore of Lake Garda, in northern Italy. Sirmione is a wonderful and peaceful village with fantastic views.Time
I do not remember exactly but it must have been around 11 in the morning. Luck that day the light was not too strong because of the clouds that you can see in the picture so it was not a big deal to shoot at that time.Lighting
It 'a picture taken on impulse, with only natural light so in this case I have nothing to say about it, only that you have to be in the right place at the right time!Equipment
When I took this picture I still had my old nikon d7100 and the sigma 10-20, a cheap wide angle but that gave me a lot of satisfaction. Not always an economic lens give mediocre performance. Having a 2.8 zoom is not necessarily necessary and saves a lot of money. If you really want a fast lens to have a good detachment of the background much better buy a prime lens.Inspiration
These swans are accustomed to the presence of people so you can get close to short distances without escaping immediately. I also believe that to photograph the animals needs necessarily put themselves at their height. Here the swan was tired of my presence and was running away, fortunately, thanks to the autofocus I managed to take a picture quickly and with good composition.Editing
This shot had a little post-production biosgno, I only gave more drama and improved the colors according to my taste. Post production is done with photoshop and nik filtersIn my camera bag
It depends on what I want to photograph, when I take a trip, as in this case never fails in my bag over my sony a7ii, the wide angle, I currently have the zeiss 16-35 F4 and maybe 50mm. I always carry with me a small tripod that comes in handy in many conditions.Feedback
This is actually a very simple picture, what I can recommend and always bring the car with you because the most beautiful situations can occur at any time. To photograph the animals I suggest you put yourself at their height, approach them with great caution and hope that they do not move until the moment of shooting.
