Location
This photo was taken at the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem.Time
I took this photo at 11.45h during a tour before lunch time.Lighting
Although it was Spring time, the day was clear and the sun struck precisely on the side of the wall where I stood. So, it was easy to get a clear image, although the photo had been taken in 2008 (10 years ago) when my equipment and experience was not so good as today's.Equipment
By that time I only had a OLYMPUS digital camera model VG-160, not any other equipment. No flash used then.Inspiration
First of all, my feeling of faith and some despair of people there. That part of the wall was open to women only (another one for men only). People were praying in silence and putting small papers in the holes of the stones. In these papers, they wrote requests for help. My request has been answered!Editing
Yes, I did. The quality of the photos I took by that tome and before was not very good so I tried to improve it with sharpening, brightness, size and contrast.In my camera bag
As an amateur, I always take with me my newest compact camera Canon Powershot SX730 HS, my mobile Sony E5603, a Canon compact camera Powershot SX710 HS and my older camera Olympus VG-160, some extra batteries and, sometimes 2 small tripods (one of them is a “Gorillapod”).Feedback
Who am I to give advices to others who know much more than me? Allow me to only say: look, like and shot! The image is firstly formed in your mind. If you like it, go ahead! Each shot should give you a sensation of something. Besides, photography can be a most important way of showing the world to others or even help to preserve and protect it.
