Location
I took it at dawn behind the hotel where I was staying in Opatije, Croatia on the Istrian PeninsulaTime
At DawnLighting
As the sun came up I positioned myself on the shore to catch it behind the statue. I loved her silhouette and felt she told a story.Equipment
Canon SX710 HX Power Shot, no tripodInspiration
The story of the girl of the statue. She reputedly fell in love with a young sailor who went to sea but never came back. So many have the experience of falling in love and the object of their loves disappears, sometimes purposefully, often unwillingly, from their lives. I felt the subject had a universal appeal and the artist had created a beautiful, sensitive sculpture of unrequited love.Editing
I honestly do not remember. I may have cropped it a little.In my camera bag
A Nikon 5300 with several lenses and a Canon Powershot I use as back up, if the battery goes dead the I have seconds to get the shot.Feedback
Photography depends so much on the light. When you have a choice go out for dawn and sunset, and the golden hour and the blue hour pre and post.
