Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture in Aldeadávila, a small town located in the Natural Park of Los Arribes del Duero, Salamanca, Spain.

Time

It was a race against the clock, the sun went quickly and I thought I did not have time to get there, but in the end I was able to take the photograph and I had a few minutes to admire the beauty of the place.

Lighting

There was a beautiful light, although a little weak because it was hiding behind the mountains.

Equipment

This was shot on a Fujifilm X T-20 with xf 18-55mm lens.

Inspiration

Many people had spoken to me about this place, so I had to go to see it with my own eyes. It is not common to be able to observe dams from that height.

Editing

I edited a bit the contrast and hue of the color

In my camera bag

I do not usually carry many things in my backpack, I usually carry my X T-20 with the 18-55mm and the samyang 12mm f2 for landscape. I also usually carry a Manfrotto tripod and a ND 10 filter.

Feedback

Enjoy the moment, be patient and photograph from different perspectives until you find the shot that you like the most.
