Behind The Lens
Location
This image was taken during a holiday through China in the Village of Yangshou in rural southern China on the Li River. Yangshou is still a very traditional village and rural area.Time
The image was taken after a late day tour at about 8pm.Lighting
Natural lighting and no flash used.Equipment
This was taken with a Sony point & shoot camera which I used while holidaying until recently.Inspiration
Had seen these fishermen a few days earlier, setting off for the night to provide for their families and I wanted to capture their tradition and the commitment these fishermen represented in todays modern world.Editing
Yes, increased brightness and reduce contrast, upped the colour slightly and reduced shadowing because of the time of day.In my camera bag
Since this image was taken, I have become more serious about my photography and have up graded to a Canon DSLR and a Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 lens for all my travel shots.Feedback
When I took this image I wasn't all that serious about photography and didn't have all the latest technology, which shows that if you think about what you want in the image and place yourself in a good position you can achieve better than average images with minimal gear.
