Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the Jokulsarlon Iceberg Lagoon, Iceland.

Time

Photo taken at around 15.30h during the afternoon trip around the country.

Lighting

Despite of being a summer day, the weather was cloudy, windy and somewhat cold. May be that light didn't bright the icebergs so much but the "sculptures" were so beautiful that I had to photograph them anyway.

Equipment

I used my Canon Powershot SX730HS with no special lens. No tripod once we were navigating on the lagoon.

Inspiration

As I said, the wonderful sculptures that Mother Nature make for us. As I had no similar places in my country, I'm always attracted by different landscapes. Nature in the very first place.

Editing

I improved the light and contrast a little bit only.

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 brand new 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.
