Location
Photo was made at home, in the early morning light. Beside being beautiful, this light also warms the house in winter months, thus saving precious fuel.Time
Date/Time of the photo is 07-Oct-18 07:00:15, one typical Autumn morning.Lighting
Here;s what the camera wrote to the image: Shutter Speed 1/30 sec, f/4, ISO 400, 0.00 eV, Metering Mode: Pattern, Flash Off, Focal Length: 9.9 mm, and White Balance set on Auto.Equipment
I shot this one with NIKON COOLPIX P610, used out of hand. No attachments of any sort.Inspiration
Clearly it was what the beautiful, almost horizontal sunlight did with the shadows in the interior.Editing
There was no need to post-process the shot, but I cropped it ever so slightly.In my camera bag
For decades already I find it easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag to take along whatever I want or need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually stay home or in the car to keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. My tripod has its permanent place in the car. The vest pockets usually contain two cameras, one of those is always waterproof. Sometimes I'll carry a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. Other pockets keep the spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small camera clamp which can be fixed to anything around, and in many cases can replace a tripod. The vest has pockets for longer lenses that usually hold a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate - if I plan on being out for the whole day. I always pack about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. Much can be improvised with these, so that's all I need. Recently I made it even easier, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch; a variable-volume McKinley. Simplicity and comfort are two best qualities for me in the Outdoors!Feedback
The camera might not be your first thought when you wake up early, but try it nevertheless. There are certain kinds of lighting that are not available during the rest of the day! :)
