Late afternoon after a day of sight-seeingLighting
The day was overcast and lead to really beautiful pictures throughout the dayEquipment
Since I was in tourist mode, no tripod, no flash needed and just my old Canon EOS REBEL T1i, Aperture: f/5, ISO: 100, Shutter Speed: 1/160 Focal Length: 70/1Inspiration
I was moved by the memorial not unlike our Vietnam Memorial only on a smaller scale. The area was very heartbreaking since it was the sight where so many men, women and children threw themselves over the cliff because of fear of being tortured if caught....these lies had been spread and the terrified villagers thought they were saving themselves from a fate worse than death, of course that was not true.Editing
No.In my camera bag
Camera, two tripods (small and large), several lenses and filters extra batteries and memory cardsFeedback
Be aware of your surroundings and be courteous of those that are their to pray over loved ones. Wait for the right moment and try to get the feeling of the area not only the subject.
