Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the "Gare do Oriente" (Orient train station), in Lisbon

Time

Around noon on a September day.

Lighting

The sun was at its peak and the ceiling of the station enable to see a softer light inside.

Equipment

I used my old Canon Powershot SX710 HS only.

Inspiration

I do like the station architecture. Almost always I see it from outside but, on that day I entered the station and decided to catch that structure from below against the outside light.

Editing

I did a resizing and improved the sharpness and contrast.

In my camera bag

As a complete but passionate photo amateur, nowadays I rarely take photos with my older digital camera Olympus VG-160, more often with my previous camera Canon Powershot SX730 HS, taking with me extra batteries, a Star 63 166-3D tripod and a small "Gorilla" one. Very recently, I’m using my newest camera Canon EOS200d with a Canon 55-250mm lens and a Tamron lens 18-400mm.

Feedback

Who am I to give advices to others? I'm a laywoman. What I can say is that if you like photography, try to take photos of everything which call your attention or you like. Whenever possible, take into consideration the light, perspective and composition. Photography starts in your mind through your eyes and your images can tell a lot of things to others, help others, inform others. And, if you really like photography and you have no ideas, then… photograph what you have.
