Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the gates of the capital in Austin Texas. It was a sad day for me so I had to try to brighten my day with some photography ????

Time

This photo was taken at approximately 10 am on an early winter morning. However, it was a warm enough day that I was able to dress nice and walk around town and get business conducted in a very organized fashion instead of my disabilities keeping me confined to my home.

Lighting

Only natural lighting was used for this photo.

Equipment

This photo was taken using my iPhone 7.

Inspiration

My inspiration for this photo was to bring myself some happiness into an otherwise very unpleasant event.

Editing

I love everything about Austin Texas including the stars on their gates and manhole covers. I was just walking by and got a sudden urge to stop and take some photos and this happened to be one of them.

In my camera bag

I use to use a Cannon for my photography, but I have found that I have my phone with me more often so I began using it. The quality is nowhere near comparison, but I do manage to get some decent photos at least.

Feedback

The feelings that come through in a selfie are those you truly feel. As you can see in this photo, I was in a state of “just being“. No smiles, no looking at the camera to see if your makeup is perfect, nothing like that. So when you try to capture a photo like this, just be yourself and let your feelings show, because that’s what makes for the best selfies.Love life and keep on smiling.
