Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken on the Velebit Mountain in Croatia. The place itself is called Panos, and until the last war there was a small barracks of the former JNA army and an artillery position to monitor and defend the Adriatic coast and the sea.

Time

It was 19:20 at sundown.

Lighting

Lighting was natural.

Equipment

Olympus E-520 camera and Digital zoom Olympus Zuiko f:2,8-4, 12-60 mm (24-120 mm in 35 mm) at f:14 was used on a tripod.

Inspiration

The beautiful environment and the beautiful light at sunset were enough to get inspired.

Editing

Shadow / Highlights, some contrast and a bit of sharpening was used in Photo Shop.

In my camera bag

It depends on whether I'm on foot or in the car. I like to go with as little gear as possible when hiking. Most often I carry E-3 and E-520 Olympus cameras and two lenses, the Olympus Digital Zuiko Zoom 12-60 and 50-200, so I don't have to change lenses.

Feedback

Everything is the influence of time and place. If you are lucky that both the location and the lighting are interesting, you will take a nice picture.
