Location

Venice, Italy

Time

10:37am

Lighting

I love photographs with water, reflections and some surrounding features like buildings or mountains. I had hoped to catch a smoother reflection of the buildings here, but the water wasn’t quiet enough for that.

Equipment

Sony A6000 @ 24mm with Sony E18-200, f11, iso 800, 1/320 sec

Inspiration

On a walking, self guided tour of Venice, with my camera in hand I tend to photograph anything that catches my eye

Editing

I did some photo editing on the fly while traveling in Italy. I usually use Lightroom, for this photo I used the Snapseed App on my iPhone. My favorite tweaks are in “Looks” “HDR” and just using general edits for exposure, highlights and shadows.

In my camera bag

For travel I like to use my Sony A6000 because it’s smaller and lighter to carry and usually take my 18-200mm and a 16 or 20mm prime. Currently shopping for a 16-70mm E lens. Also use a Canon 7D mk ii with 70-200 f2.8 Canon and 135mm f2 Canon if I’m shooting my daughters competitive swimming. Love to acquire a Full Frame Sony Mirrorless or Canon 6D mk ii in the future

Feedback

Be open to shoot what grabs you, early or later in the day will give you better lighting. Find the editor you like and don’t be afraid to experiment!
