Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken by drone above Saint-Cirq-Lapopie, a lovely preserved little village in the Lot (France). As you can see, the overflown church is perched very close to the edge of the cliff that plunges into the river Lot. My goal was to enhance the vertigo effect of this church's location by improving the perspective. To achieve this, I stitched 7 wide-angle (24mm) pictures vertically.

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

-

Equipment

DJI FC6310 24.0 mm

Inspiration

Saint-Cirq-Lapopie had been officially chosen as French people's favorite village in 2012. The images I then saw on tv were compelling enough to persuade my wife & I to have a trip through the gorgeous bucolic regions of Lot / Dordogne / Périgord. I fell in love with this part of France and with this breathtaking village.

Editing

Stitching 7 images together and working on the lighting

In my camera bag

Camera: Sony A7R II, Lens: Sony FE 24-240 mm f/3.5-6.3 OSS, Tripod: Victory Professional tripod 3001

Feedback

You first have to be impressed by something. Then have a specific goal to enhance what impresses you. Then think about how you can achieve it. Make your composition as readable as can be.
