Behind The Lens

Location

Was in holiday in Portugal, Mafra and heard about a lovely palace there, so I went to the Palace for a tour, learned a lot about the history and saw this library in the Palace, was so beautiful. I had to capture it and there, this photo was born.

Time

The picture was taking in the afternoon going through the Palace tour.

Lighting

The lighting in there was natural lighting, no artificial lighting used.

Equipment

I used my mobile phone camera from my old phone Samsung A80

Inspiration

I saw it on Google and saw it was one of the most beautiful libraries in the world... I wont disagree with that. So I knew that I had to take a photo of it and hopefully done it a bit of justice.

Editing

No, no post-processing.

In my camera bag

I don't necessarily pack to take photos on journeys, but if I see something I've always got my mobile phone around. If I go to places like this or the zoo or anything that's of interest I would make sure that my cannon powershot sx540 Hs is with me to take some amazing photos.

Feedback

No particular advice, as I'm a novice myself. But I'd say just keep your eyes peeled for anything g of interest be it a rock in a particular place, a specific type of flower/tree or a view that you like. Take a few photos and just play around and have fun!
