Behind The Lens

Location

I take this shot in Parma, Italy ... The city where i live and my first source of inspiration

Time

I take this shot at 5-6 PM , when the sunset is near and the shadows are long and exaggerate

Lighting

The time when i take the shot has been the most important thing because this type of shadow is created only in this situation

Equipment

Nikon D7100 , sigma 17-50 and nothing else

Inspiration

Some shot of other photographer , Magnum photographer primaly... But i have think of this photo because i want use this type of shadow for create a serie called "The Big Shadow"

Editing

Yes, i've used it. I have used camera raw and i increased the contrast, the dark and the shadows... I have also used the 16:9 composition

In my camera bag

My Nikon D7100 and some lens.. Sigma 17-50 and Nikon 35mm

Feedback

Choose the right moment of the day, the right position and wait (maybe some minutes) the right situation. Remember to study the place and how the shadows are created... Carpe diem.. The sun moves quickly
