Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the floating gardens in Xochimilco, Mexico. It was included in my pilgrimage. This is a popular tourist attraction and for the boat ride you can also add lunch or a mariachi band or both!

Time

This was around noon or sometime around 11 to early afternoon.

Lighting

This was all natural light and the covering on the boat provided great lighting

Equipment

This was shot on a Samsung galaxy A70 2017 phone using setting on HDR mode.

Inspiration

When I looked at these had painted decorative boats they had so much vibrant colors and authenticy of Mexico and it's historic culture. So I believe this captures the beauty of Mexico

Editing

Yes but very little just a touch of warmth, brightness, and contrast

In my camera bag

Mostly my phone and my action camera with attachments A gorilla tripod with phone holder, cold shoe mount and Led light.

Feedback

Look for authentic and vintage looking places most historical places will have something you can find.
