Location
I caught this picture in Izmir (Symirna), Turkey.Time
It is a nice evening for me and my friends. We had just gotten off the city lines ferry and the birds were enjoying the evening on the still water. The sunset, the calm and quiet shore, a stillness that left the crowded center of the city at a distance, finally the birds, everything was a call to immortalize that moment.Lighting
The sunset and clouds formed an extraordinary, enchanting backdrop. The bird on the pier completed this authentic painting, which looked surreal with its shadowy silhouette in the backlight.Equipment
I took this shot with my Huawei P10 phone that uses Leica lens, with a few different shots of the same sunset. It's not the camera that matters, it's the moment. He was to be included in the fascinating composition. I wish I had adjusted the frame to position the bird a little more to the right of the frame. My fault. It's not professional. I have no such claim!Inspiration
That evening, when I was crossing the city by ferry in Izmir Bay with my two activist friends (one of them is also a writer, journalist and photographer), it was sunset and we had a lot of fun. Being with them meant wonderful warm weather and partly cloudy sunsets, immortality-seeking moments.Editing
As I recall, I played around slightly with contrast and hue. You can also see the original colors in the other photos I took the same evening, which also show the birds (pelican family) in the water.In my camera bag
A Fujifilm x30 and my phone! Moments, what the photograph tells and memories are important to me. Not very high resolutions, snapshots that can be printed on large posters, perfect details and shadows. I said, I'm not a professional!Feedback
Get out of the house! Discover life, its fascinating places, moments. Observe animals, people. Sometimes the square you are looking for may be one street away, sometimes on the other side of the city. Maybe long trips are required. Our time is not infinite. Somewhere, beautiful moments, memories that add meaning to life are waiting for you. My English is not very good, I ask for your forgiveness for all my spelling and grammatical errors.
