Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo on a rainy day in my house in Enkhuizen, Holland.

Time

It was about 2 Pm. on a rainy day.

Lighting

The lighting was simple, a rainy day without artificial light.

Equipment

I only have a Lumix DMC TZ100, all my photo's are taken with this little miracle of a camera... It shows that you don't need an expensive camera with a lot of equipment to take photo's of good quality, The best thing of this camera is that it is very easy to take with you, because it practically fits in your backpocket. I am saving money to buy something professional though, because it will open new possibilities for sure and I am always looking for new challenges.

Inspiration

On a dreadful rainy day, I tried to shoot some awfull photos... until I saw a tiny spot on my window. I took my camera and the result was amazing... It appeard to be a seed showing it's colours. In a sense it was a lucky shot.

Editing

I did a little post-processing with Lightroom, cropping, contrast and a bit of color enhancing.

In my camera bag

I don't have any equipment in my bag (yet) I am a beginning photographer and I am learning to use a camera, to look for the good light, composition and point of view. One day when I know how to use and set the camera well enough, I will start to think about a bag filled with technical things instead of the need to understand how it works first...

Feedback

To take a photo like this one, you need nothing more than a good eye for composition and a bit of creativity… When I saw a spot on my window, I took my camera and was surprised to see the result! If you look at a subject to photograph, you have to try to realise what you want to achieve, Try to find the good light, the right point of view and the best composition... Take more shots with slightly different settings so you can choose the best one later. Once you open your laptop, the magic of today's world begins... I always crop it later into the size and composition I like best. Crop and edit the photo in different ways, so you can choose the best one the next day when you can have a fresh look at them!
