Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken somewhere near Cojimar, Cuba.

Time

It was around 1 pm.

Lighting

The sun was very strong.

Equipment

Sony 6300 with a 16-70 mm Zeiss lens. Hand held.

Inspiration

I was on a small chartered bus. We were about to make a left turn onto the highway back to Havana. We noticed that the road was partially covered in some material that extended very far down the road. I hopped out of the bus and discovered that it was rice drying in the road. When the fellow who was tending the rice scooped up a handful to show me I thought quickly to snap this picture.

Editing

Some light post processing using Nik and Topaz filters to bring out the detail in the image.

In my camera bag

Typically, I don't carry a bag. I carry just the camera with affixed lens. Occasionally, I will also carry a larger zoom lens.

Feedback

Remember that any interaction in life can present as a great photo op.
